Healthy Habits for Healthier Teeth and Gums

Written by Dr. Holly Nadji • Feb 28 • 1 minute read

A beautiful smile starts with healthy daily habits. With just a few simple steps, you can keep your teeth strong, your gums healthy, and your dental visits stress-free!

Here’s What to Focus On:

1. Brush Twice a Day
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to gently clean your teeth for two full minutes, morning and night.

2. Floss Daily
Flossing removes food and plaque from between teeth—places your toothbrush can’t reach. It’s key to preventing gum disease.

3. Rinse Smart
Use an alcohol-free mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath without drying out your mouth.

4. Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet
Limit sugary snacks and drinks. Crunchy fruits and veggies (like apples and carrots) can naturally clean your teeth while you chew!

5. Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Routine cleanings help catch issues early—and keep your smile looking its best.
