“New year, new me.†is always the saying but at Loyacona Orthodontics, we say “New year, new smile, better hygiene.â€
Today we compiled some of our best tips for keeping that perfect smile in the New Year…
Tooth Brushing
When wearing braces, remember to brush gently. Using a toothbrush with soft bristles is recommended. Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months for proper upkeep.
Snack Healthier
Snacks that are high in fiber are great for cleaning your teeth? Try snacking on foods like apples, carrots, yogurt, or almonds to naturally fight bacteria in your mouth.
Buy the correct toothpaste
When grocery shopping, choose a toothpaste that is made of fluoride, abrasives, humectants, flavors, and detergents. These key ingredients strengthen tooth enamel, scrub the tooth’s surface, trap water for a smooth substance, create a foaming effect, and even have a great taste.
