Why is a healthy mouth so important? Because a hygienic oral environment provides a basis for healthy teeth that will accompany you for a lifetime. At our SPEKTRUM dental practice in Berlin, we not only care about your dental treatment, but also about your long-term oral health. For this reason, we would like to give you some valuable tips for optimal oral hygiene in the following article, so that you can keep your teeth healthy and shiny.
Brush your teeth regularly
One of the most important keys to good oral hygiene is regular and thorough brushing. We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice a day, morning and evening, for two to three minutes each time. Use a toothbrush with bristles that are not too hard and use toothpaste every time you brush your teeth.
Don’t forget dental floss
In addition to brushing your teeth, it is also important to use dental floss to thoroughly clean the spaces between your teeth. Dental floss helps to remove plaque and food debris that accumulates between the teeth. The spaces between teeth account for up to 40% of the tooth surface, which is why they should not be neglected. Otherwise, caries and gingivitis can develop. So don’t forget to use dental floss every day.
A healthy diet for healthy teeth
A balanced diet also plays an important role in your oral health. Reduce your consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, as they can cause tooth decay. Instead, make sure you eat a vitamin-rich diet that strengthens your teeth and gums.
Regular visits to the dentist
Last but not least, it is important to make regular visits to the dentist to monitor your oral health and have professional dental cleanings. A dentist can detect problems early and treat them before they develop into serious conditions.
By following these tips and maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine, you can help to maintain the health of your teeth and avoid serious problems in the long term.
