And by doing this, you can easily create a winning situation for both your smile and your wallet. Keep reading to learn more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daradds.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">your dentist<\/a> about how you can establish a few resolutions for the new year that are centered around achieving a healthy and brighter smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boost Your Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a solid at-home oral hygiene routine is paramount when it comes to protecting your smile, and this year is a great opportunity to boost your regimen and ensure that you\u2019re staying on top of things. Be sure that you\u2019re brushing twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antibacterial mouthwash regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthier Dietary Choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your diet also has a significant impact on your oral health; what you eat can become food for bacteria in your mouth and potentially contribute to cavities, gum disease, and other conditions. You should aim to limit your consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, reduce your snacking between meals, rinse with water after meals or sugary drinks, and aim to eat plenty of healthy options packed with vitamins and nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is the absolute best beverage for your body, as well as your oral health\u2014it doesn\u2019t just keep you hydrated, but it also encourages the flow of saliva inside your mouth. Since saliva is your mouth\u2019s first line of defense against cavity-causing bacteria, it\u2019s in your best interest to drink water often. Make it a point to stay hydrated all year long so that your smile can stay in great shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quit Bad Oral Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s common knowledge that smoking and using tobacco products isn\u2019t great for you\u2014but these habits are also incredibly detrimental to your oral health! Tobacco can stain your teeth and increase your risk of many serious dental problems. This could finally be the year you commit to quitting, and by doing so, you\u2019re setting your smile up for a bright and healthy future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventive Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to ensure that your smile looks and feels its absolute best all year round is by scheduling regular preventive dental visits. During these visits, your dentist can inspect your mouth for underlying oral issues, in addition to providing a detailed level of cleaning that you cannot carry out on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year is the perfect year to get your oral health back on track, and following these resolutions is the secret to doing so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Advanced Dentistry of Alhambra is thrilled to serve the dental needs of the Alhambra, CA community.
