toothbrushclearcupIf you ever spend a moment daydreaming about how to keep your smile in excellent condition (which we hope you do) then you may wonder if there’s some hidden vault somewhere with the answers you seek. Fortunately, the secrets to maintaining an exceptionally clean smile are easily accessible and we will be more than happy to share them with you. Keep in mind as you sift through the details that focusing on your preventive care with treatments like dental cleanings is the underlying key to the squeaky clean grin you desire and deserve.

Secret #1: Brush Enough

Keep the word “enough” in mind as you refer to this secret. You want to brush long enough, often enough, and thoroughly enough. This translates into the following: Brush twice a day for two minutes each time you brush. Make sure you give attention to every single tooth in your smile, even the back, hard-to-reach ones, so your smile remains clean and healthy.

Secret #2: Don’t Overdo It

If you’re overdoing it, we may notice this during your dental cleaning and checkup. Rather than irritating your smile, keep it super clean by following the gentle yet thorough technique. What’s this mean? It means you should floss once a day instead of several times. You should also choose soft bristle toothbrushes, non-abrasive toothpaste, and gently clean your teeth. If you love a smile that feels clean all day then rinse your mouth after meals. Wait 30 minutes and then brush – this will allow you to clean your teeth without pressing food particles into them.
