Thank you Children’s Dental Health for the super infographic!

Here are some good dental habits for children and adults, typed out:

Dental health care – good habits vs. bad habits.

Here are some habits you need to practice and the habits you need to break away from to have a healthy smile.

Good dental habits:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with gentle circular movements.
  • Floss daily with the flossing product you find convenient.
  • Drink the right beverages including water, milk and tea.
  • Eat foods that benefit dental health such as fruit, vegetables, seafood, cheese and nuts.
  • Regular dental check ups can prevent bigger problems.

Bad dental habits:

  • Not brushing or irregular brushing can result in cavities and gum problems. Too much pressure can damage tooth enamel.
  • Not flossing – results in bacterial growth and plaque formation.
  • Eating sugary foods and starchy foods – candy, chocolate, potato chips.
  • Drinking sugary beverages such as pop, sweetened sports drinks.
  • Not attending regular dental check-ups. Small problems can easily grow larger if left alone.

Choose the right dental care products for good dental health

Toothbrush: Choose toothbrushes with soft bristles = effective cleaning and no damage. Electric toothbrushes are great for most people as they help clean better, when used properly. Electric toothbrushes are great for people with arthritis.

Toothpaste: Toothpaste with fluoride will reduce the risk of cavities. Personal preference of flavours and textures.

Floss: Flat, wide dental tape to clean the larger gaps; thin, narrow strips to clean the small gaps. Waxed for tight spaces.

Mouthwash: Soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera can be good for sensitive teeth and gums. Flouride mouthwash can be a good choice. Anti-plaque, anti-tartar and anti-gingivitis can all be good choices too.
