Brushing after eating – if you’ve consumed foods or drinks that are acidic, as well as anything high in sugars and carbs, the enamel on your teeth can soften. If you try to brush your teeth when the enamel is soft you could risk brushing it off. To prevent this from happening gently rinse your mouth out with plain water right after eating or drinking and wait an hour to brush.
Hard brushing – many think that brushing your teeth hard is more likely to remove food and plaque as opposed to a gentler approach. However, aggressive brushing can actually cause cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. Regular professional cleanings are the best way to maintain a bright, healthy smile. Remember to take your Doc Wellbee card to the dentist with you and receive up to 65% off a cleaning. You won’t be disappointment you signed up for the most affordable dental insurance in Atlanta.
Water – this may seem like a strange one but drinking bottled water may mean you’re not getting the optimum dose of fluoride. Fluoride helps protect your teeth from cavities, and most tap water contains enough fluoride, but bottled water doesn’t. Kids can get fluoride and sealant treatments, but if you’re an adult who is at higher risk of dental decay you can ask your dentist if you should use a fluoride rinse.
