Everyone knows to brush twice a day,  and to floss.  But here are 3 tips to better oral health.  And, you can start today.

  1.  Change out your toothbrush.  Try changing your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if your toothbrush bristles are frayed.  According to the ADA this is a very good practice.
  2.  Reduce your stress.  We know that stress is hard on your mental and physical health, but think about this…when we get stressed out, we tend to bite our nails or grind our teeth or even clench up our mouths.  Try deep breathing.  Just a few deep breaths can help your overall oral health.
  3. Change up your diet.  Stop drinking sugary sodas and sports drinks.  Load up on nutrient rich veggies and fruits.

These 3 tips should kick-start you into better overall oral health.
