Good Oral Hygiene Tips in San Jose CA Area

Your smile says a lot about you as an individual. A healthy, attractive smile says you care about your appearance and how others perceive you. This can leave a positive impression on those you meet. By prioritizing oral hygiene, you can keep your smile healthy and bright your whole life. These oral hygiene tips compiled by Natalie K. Provenzano DDS, Inc., in San Jose, California, can help you take good care of your gums and teeth.  

Good Oral Hygiene Tips

Despite years of constant use, good oral hygiene habits can keep your teeth strong and healthy. If you’re not already doing so, Dr. Natalie Provenzano recommends adding the following dental hygiene practices to your oral hygiene routine:

  • Brush at least twice daily with a soft bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste. Brushing removes food particles and plaque from your gums and teeth to reduce your risk of cavities
  • Floss and use a mouth rinse at least once daily to protect those areas that your brush can’t reach
  • Eat a healthy diet that includes fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, lean meats, fish, milk, cheese, eggs, and other foods that support teeth and gum health. Avoid or restrict acidic and sugary foods and drinks
  • Drink plenty of water all day long
  • Give up smoking and the use of tobacco products as they put you at greater risk of decay, gum problems, and dental disease
  • See your dentist twice annually for dental check-ups and routine cleanings
  • Have an Intraoral Scan to check that your teeth are in proper occlusion. Straight teeth that function correctly play a large role in maintaining oral health
