With our understanding of how oral health affects your overall health, we now know that there’s never been a more important time to take charge of your oral health. Periodontal disease has been linked with other serious health concerns such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke, so it’s very important to see your dentist every six months for screenings. Did you know however, that there are a number of things you can be doing at home to promote good oral health? Here are some tips for maintaining optimum oral health from your dentist in Cupertino.
An electric toothbrush does all the hard work for you, while timing your session to ensure that you’re completing the recommended two minutes of brushing. Electric brushes are easier on your gum tissue, and hygienists report that they remove more plaque buildup than manual brushing. An electric toothbrush is a small investment to make in optimum oral health.
Adding an antibacterial mouth rinse to your daily routine adds another level of protection from bacteria, it’s quick and easy, and as a bonus it also promotes fresh breath. Be sure to consult your dentist however, before choosing your mouth rinse because unfortunately they’re not all created equal.
