Spring cleaning - a time for decluttering the home, donating old clothes, and taking care of the seasonal outdoor chores. It’s also the perfect time to improve your dental health routine!
In honor of tomorrow being the first day of Spring (minus the winter weather on the forecast), we wanted to help you brush up on some ways to not only spring clean your mouth, but your family’s as well:
- Out with the old in with the new - When was the last time your household replaced their toothbrushes? If you’re struggling to remember it’s most certainly time. For a general rule of thumb, replace your toothbrush every 3 months.
- Brush and floss regularly - Perhaps a New Year’s resolution was to stick to brushing and flossing regularly, and perhaps now you’ve slipped out of these good habits. Re-establish these habits now that the new season has arrived! Try keeping a travel toothbrush on hand (purse or car) to remind yourself to brush after a healthy lunch or a late breakfast. Add flossing to your nightly routine since during sleep, less saliva is produced to naturally clean the mouth, thus leaving bacteria to roam free and do some damage.
- Schedule an appointment with us - Regular exams and cleanings are vital for all ages. We specialize in caring for children’s teeth in a comfortable and caring environment and three Long Island locations. Head into the Spring in Summer with a healthy, bright smile and schedule your appointment today!
