When you are proactive about your oral health, you will be brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash at least twice every day. It’s best to brush after every meal, but that’s not always practical, especially for people when they’re out at work.
Being proactive about your oral care also includes visiting the dentist every six months for regular cleaning and checkup. During those regular cleanings and checkups, the dentist might be able to detect certain issues that may be minor at the moment but that could grow worse over time. By being proactive, you can get ahead of any problems before they become major headaches.
Being proactive will also help to protect your teeth as you age. Having strong, healthy teeth will be incredibly beneficial throughout the rest of your life. There’s nothing better than being able to smile confidently with white, strong, and healthy teeth and to have fresh breath all the time.
