Best way to take care of your teeth
No matter what your age, you need to take care of your teeth and mouth. When your mouth is healthy, you can easily eat the foods you need for good nutrition. Smiling, talking and laughing with others also is easier when your mouth is healthy. Various bad habits can affect the health of your mouth, but good care keeps your teeth and gums strong as you age.
Tooth Decay (Cavities)
By taking good care of your teeth and gums, you can protect them for years to come. Tooth decay is not just a problem for children. It can happen as long as you have natural teeth in your mouth.
Gum Disease
Have you ever brushed your teeth and noticed a pink tinge on your toothbrush? It may have made you wonder if you have gum disease. So, what is gum disease? Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums that can lead to the deterioration of the tissues and bone that surround and support your teeth.
Prevention of Gum Disease
• Brush your teeth twice a day (with fluoride toothpaste).
• Floss once a day.
• Make regular visits to your dentist for a checkup and cleaning.
• Don’t use tobacco products.
• Eat a well-balanced diet.
Know how to brush and floss in a right way
Every day, gently brush your teeth on all sides with a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste. Small round motions and short back-and-forth strokes work best. Take the time to brush carefully and gently along the gum line. Along with brushing, clean around your teeth with dental floss to keep your gums healthy. Careful flossing will remove plaque and leftover food that a toothbrush can’t reach. Rinse after you floss. Refer the following image to know how to floss.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are small metal pieces placed in the jaw to hold false teeth or partial dentures in place. They are not for everyone. You need a complete dental and medical checkup to find out if implants are right for you. Your gums must be healthy and your jawbone able to support the implants. Talk to your dentist to find out if you should think about dental implants.
