This Valentine's Day, show your teeth extra care! Five tips from our Worcester, MA dental office
We not only express our affection for others through gifts and body language, but our mouth also plays an important role. Don't forget to show some love to your oral health this Valentine's Day.
These are five ways you can:
1. Whiter and fresher teeth for Valentine's Day
A radiant smile is a great way to impress your loved one and boost your morale. Book your dental appointment with your dentist today if you are due for a regular check-up or cleaning. If you are aiming for whiter teeth, book a Zoom whitening appointment now. The procedure is quick and safe; you will instantly see the results on your teeth.
2. Take care of your gums.
You don't want your gums inflamed this holiday. Remember to floss twice a day to take leftovers from your teeth. Not taking care of your gums can lead to gingivitis and periodontitis.
3. Make healthier snack choices.
If you are planning on gifting someone or receiving chocolate, remember to eat the sugar-free or dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains less sugar and some strong antioxidants that are healthy for the immune system and heart. Other healthier snacks are strawberries, nuts, and raisins. Chewing sugar-free gum or using mouthwash to fight against bad breath is also a healthy choice to make.
4. Stay hydrated.
Water is crucial not just for your overall health but also for maintaining dental wellness. Drinking water assists you to flush out sugar and neutralize acids that have been ingested.
5. Be careful who you kiss.
Kissing helps increase saliva production to fight mouth infections, but if you kiss someone with poor oral hygiene, you may be at risk of developing the same condition. Cavities are contagious because bacteria can be transferred down to you.
