Are you practicing effective toothbrush care? Have you selected a toothbrush that can adequately fulfill the needs required of it? Are you using the proper techniques to clean your teeth? All of these questions and more should always be answered due to the significance of brushing your teeth. It is suggested that you should brush your teeth twice every day, and this is a vital step for showing off memorable oral health. Here are some tips to remember about brushing:

– Always make sure to brush on all sides of a tooth focusing on not missing any areas. Because brushing cannot reach between teeth, an alternative interdental cleaner such as dental floss will be needed to reach these areas.

– Always make sure you’re brushing your teeth at least twice every day. Ideally, each session should take between 2 to 3 minutes.

– Don’t forget to brush your tongue as it is often a safe zone for bacteria.

– Exercise caution with sticky foods that brushing alone cannot always remove.

– Eat a healthy diet that focuses on enamel-building minerals, and be sure to limit between meal snacks. This can lower the amount of food debris in your mouth that can damage your teeth.

– Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after meals. This is because your teeth are highly sensitive at this time and brushing can potentially damage your tooth enamel due to abrasive toothpaste or toothbrushes. Instead, try using mouthwash or another similar nonabrasive cleaner.

– When brushing your teeth, use a 45-degree angle and soft, gentle strokes. However, when brushing your front teeth, turn the brush vertical.

An incomplete smile can cause numerous oral health risks. A single lost tooth can increase the rate at which tooth decay can occur. Missing teeth can also lower your mouth’s ability to function properly and can even cause other healthy teeth to move around due to gaps between teeth that will now exist. Thus, a replacement will be required. One helpful treatment to consider is a dental bridge.

Dental bridges are extremely effective because they can help complete your smile once again. In some situations, they can restore functions that may have been lost due to a hindrance with your oral profile. Dental bridges can restore lost skills, including the ability to chew or eat, or even to speak correctly. Dental bridges are also highly effective for fixing bite stability that may have been hindered as well as space maintenance to ensure teeth do not move and slide around. In situations where tooth slippage has occurred, dental bridges can be used to hold teeth in stable positions as the gap will be filled in. Dental bridges are also beneficial in situations when your jaw is not strong enough to hold a dental implant. This is because dental bridges are attached an anchored to nearby teeth.

Don’t postpone a visit to our team at Crosby Dental Center to check if you are suffering from missing or lost teeth that require dental bridge prosthetics.
