Spring has sprung! Have you started your spring cleaning yet? In addition to household chores, now is the perfect time to spring clean your dental routine as well!
Not sure where to begin? See below to get started:
Rid the junk food: By now you should know that the food you consume plays a vital role in oral health. In honor of National Nutrition Month, work to limit the amount of junk food in your home and instead replace with healthy fruits and vegetables for snacking.
Throw out your old toothbrush: Has your toothbrush seen better days? It may be due time for a replacement. In general, toothbrushes should be replaced every three months unless they show signs of wear earlier. So inspect your family’s toothbrushes - any with frayed bristles should be disposed of and replaced for the spring season.
Remind everyone to brush and floss daily: Brushing and flossing are two of the most basic weapons in the fight against tooth decay. Reinforce dental habits in your home by reminding everyone to brush for two minutes, twice daily, and floss regularly.
