Even if you\u2019ve been told you have nice teeth, it\u2019s essential to take the right steps to care for them and prevent problems. Thankfully, practicing a few simple habits can go a long way for maintaining excellent oral health. To celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month this October, start implementing these five tips from your Burleson dentist for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marveldentalcare.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">healthier smile!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Be Mindful of How You Brush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not brushing your teeth correctly, you may be doing your smile more harm than good! Brushing with too much force or too quickly can wear away your enamel and leave behind lots of plaque and bacteria. Take your time while brushing and use small, circular brushing movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Treat Flossing and Brushing as Equally Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flossing may not be your favorite part of your daily dental routine, but it\u2019s just as important as brushing. In fact, some studies report that brushing only removes about 60% of dangerous particles from your mouth. The other 40% accumulate in areas that can only be cleaned out by flossing, so you\u2019ll need to floss daily to minimize your risk of issues like tooth decay and gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Don\u2019t Forget to Clean Your Tongue and Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like your teeth, plaque and bacteria build up on your tongue and gums throughout the day and night. If they\u2019re not cleared away regularly, you could develop problems like chronic bad breath, mouth infections, or gum disease. Take a few moments twice every day to gently clean every part of your mouth when you brush, not just your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Drink More Water for a Healthier Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is staying hydrated important for your overall health, but it can help keep your smile healthy and clean as well. Drinking water throughout the day encourages saliva production and washes away cavity-causing particles before they have a chance to accumulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #5: Get a Dental Checkup &amp; Cleaning Twice a Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your teeth look and feel fine, it\u2019s important to get a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year. Your dentist will be able to detect issues that you may not be able to see or feel yet and put a stop to them before they begin to cause you any unnecessary damage or discomfort. Routine preventive care every six months can save you time, money, and discomfort in the long run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your smile plays a key role in nearly every aspect of your everyday life, so it\u2019s important to take care of it properly with great dental hygiene! Keep these five tips in mind to maintain great oral health for life. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The talented team of Marvel Dental offers a wide range of services to help the smiles of Burleson, TX overcome nearly any oral health issue.
