For 2020, you\u2019d like to take better care of\nyour overall health, but you\u2019re not sure where to start. Many people aren\u2019t\naware of how much of an impact their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifetimedentalga.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">oral health<\/a>\nhas on the rest of their body, which is why they don\u2019t know that the best way\nto start their year is to get a professional teeth cleaning in Gainesville. The\nrest of your body will thank you when you take great care of your mouth. Read\non for four new year\u2019s resolutions that you\u2019ll be glad you made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting Your Dentist Every Six Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be easy to put your semi-annual cleaning and dental\ncheckup in Gainesville on the backburner to make room in your schedule for more\nexciting activities. However, these appointments ensure that your oral health stays\nin tip-top shape and prevents small issues from progressing down the road. By\nvisiting your dentist every six months in 2020, you\u2019ll be able to diagnose the\nearly signs of oral cancer, prevent gum disease from getting worse, and keep\ncavities from forming. With preventive dental care, you\u2019ll be able to spend\nless time in your dentist\u2019s office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switching Out Your Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people don\u2019t know that they need to get a new toothbrush\nafter they\u2019ve been sick or every three months. Frayed and worn bristles can\neasily trap bacteria and reinfect your mouth, increasing your chances of\nbecoming ill or developing additional oral health problems. Nylon bristles can\nalso become jagged after they\u2019ve been regularly used, which can also damage\nyour gums and not properly clean your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taming Your Sweet Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hardest new year\u2019s resolutions you can make for the\nbetterment of your oral health is to vow to reign in your sweet tooth. Sugar\ncan have an addictive effect on your body, making you crave it. Just like it\u2019s\nnot great for your overall health, it can also cause problems for your teeth\nand gums. Harmful oral bacteria feed off of the substance and convert it into\nacid that can erode your enamel, causing cavities and gum disease. This year,\nmake an effort to substitute sweet snacks for healthier options, like fresh\nfruits and vegetables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain a Thorough Dental Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without good dental care at home, your risk of developing\ncommon oral health problems will increase dramatically. To take care of your\nteeth and gums, be sure to use tools that are gentle and effective, such as a soft-bristled\nbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Also, don\u2019t forget to clean your tongue,\nfloss your teeth, and rinse with antibacterial mouthwash every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to new year\u2019s resolutions is making goals that are\nattainable and great for your wellbeing. When you visit your dentist in\nGainesville, be sure to ask them how you can optimize your oral health and keep\nyour smile looking and feeling great in 2020. With the right tools and\ntechniques under your belt, you\u2019ll feel better than ever! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Shue Her has been optimizing his patients\u2019 oral health\nin Gainesville for over a decade.
