Tips for Better Dental Health in 2024

Happy New Year from all of us at Bellevue Dental Oasis! As we enter 2024, it’s the perfect time to commit to healthy oral hygiene habits. Small changes in your routine can lead to significant improvements in your dental health. Here are some practical tips to take care of your smile in the new year and beyond.

Perfect Your Brushing Technique

Brushing your teeth is more than a daily task—it’s a skill. Optimal brushing involves gentle, circular motions at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Ensure you’re reaching all surfaces of your teeth, including the often-neglected nooks and crannies of your back molars. Brushing like a pro twice daily will keep your smile bright and healthy.

Don’t Skip Flossing

Flossing may seem tedious, but it’s a crucial step in maintaining healthy gums and preventing cavities between teeth. Make it a habit to floss at least once a day, preferably before bedtime. One tip to make flossing easier is to store floss in places other than your bathroom. Keep floss in your purse, desk, or car so you never have an excuse to skip out on this important component of your oral hygiene.

Mind Your Diet

Your diet can really make or break your dental health. Sugary snacks and beverages should be enjoyed in moderation or consolidated to mealtimes so as not to increase the risk of forming cavities. Nutrient-rich foods like leafy greens and lean meats contain vitamins and minerals that will keep your teeth strong.
