Reason 2 Smile Dental Services Clinic Reveals Two Ways To Keep Healthy Teeth

Salt Lake City, Utah-based Reason 2 Smile Dental is reaching out to the community to share how they can maintain healthy teeth. According to the clinic, by adopting two simple tips on top regular dental care practices, anyone can enjoy good oral health throughout their lives. More information can be found on the company's website, which is available here: https://reason-2-smile-dental.business.site/#details.

"Teeth health, and how to improve one's daily habits to benefit it, are common topics of interest among our regular patients," says Dr. Andrew M. Vernon of Reason 2 Smile Dental. While the clinic does offer professional advice to all patients, he states that the community’s eagerness to learn more (and overall interest in the topic) is what led them to reach out and share these tips for improved teeth health.

"The first thing to keep in mind if you want to have healthy teeth is that you need to brush often, but not aggressively," asserts Dr. Vernon. "Most people already know the importance of brushing their teeth at least twice a day, but they tend not to use an appropriate technique. Brushing is only effective if people do it the right way. If you are too rough and careless while brushing, you may be doing more damage to your teeth and gums than you realize. Tooth sensitivity, permanent damage to the protective enamel on the teeth and gum erosion are all consequences of being too rough while brushing your teeth."

Aside from being more careful while brushing their teeth, the dentist also adds that a toothbrush with soft bristles is a necessity. This can be paired with the clinic's second tip to keep healthy teeth, which is to floss once a day (and use mouthwash).

Dr. Vernon explains, "While everyone has heard that flossing is just as important, if not more, as brushing their teeth, most do not floss everyday. Flossing can remove plaque and bacteria from between the teeth, where a toothbrush is unable to reach, and it can also help prevent bad breath by removing debris and food that has become trapped between the teeth."

The correct technique for flossing is to gently push the floss all the way down to the gum line before hugging the side of the tooth with up-and-down motions. It is important to avoid snapping the floss up and down between the teeth, which can cause pain and will not remove plaque as effectively.

When it comes to using mouthwash, the dentist reassures the community that the process is much simpler. It comes down to choosing a mouthwash product that contains the best ingredients, according to what each person needs. Dr. Vernon says, "You want to find the one that fits your needs the most, as some mouthwashes offer benefits that can help prevent different conditions. For example, a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine, an antibacterial ingredient, helps control plaque and gingivitis. If you are unsure about which mouthwash to choose, you can always reach out to your dentist and ask for a recommendation based on your individual case."

According to Reason 2 Smile Dental, by adopting these two practices, one can guarantee that their teeth remain as healthy as possible — especially when complemented by regular visits to the dentist.
