All of us here in Australia want to have the winning smile that gives us the job, that gets us a contract and that gets us the girl or boy. Wanting the best smile and achieving the best smile are two completely different things and some of us are not born with teeth that are as straight as they could be. We turn to the professionals hopefully at a young age to address these issues so that when we reach our teenage years that we look amazing and we do have that winning smile.
We are taught from a very young age that we need to take care of our teeth and this is why our parents made us brush them first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Many of us fought them on this piece of parental advice but now many of us are thankful that they made us do it. The good thing about taking care of your teeth is you might not needdental extraction at Goldfields Family Dental but it is also reassuring to know that they will be there if we ever need their help.
The following are some top tips to help you to take care of your teeth here in Australia.
- Brush your teeth regularly – It’s suggested that you brush your teeth twice a day and so the suggestion before about mornings and evenings before going to bed is best. You also need to remember that if you are eating food that is sweet and sugary then it would make perfect sense to give your teeth an additional clean just after.
- Take the time to brush – When many Australians brush, it is something that they try to get over as quickly as possible and so they miss out on some of those hard-to-reach places where bacteria and plaque can build up. You should be spending at least five minutes brushing your teeth and remember to brush your gums at a 45° angle.
- Carry out flossing – Flossing is an excellent way to keep away cavities and gum disease. It will get rid of the plaque but also is able to find any pieces of food that you don’t get with your toothbrush.
Follow this advice and your teeth will last you an incredibly long time and that’s great news indeed.
