Teeth 101: Look After Your Pegs

Posted on : April 7, 2015  By : Wellness

Sure, we’ve all envied those Hollywood hunks and babes who boast a set of sparkling gnashers at every photo opp, and good news for you – we’re here to share a few ways you too can flash an effortless smile!

When it comes to looking after your teeth and gums – there’s plenty you can do. Apart from the obvious – which yes, is brushing your teeth at least twice a day – there are a few other things you can do to protect those pearly whites.

So, as specialists of dental hygiene, here’s our tips round-up to keeping your pegs in check and your gums healthy. Enjoy.

Start Flossing

Yep, it’s an obvious one, but it sure is a goodie! Dental floss is perfect for getting those annoying bits of last night’s pizza out of your teeth, and helps to keep your teeth food-free and happy. You should aim to floss at least twice a day, morning and night, to really take advantage of this handy little invention.

Visit The Dentist, Regularly!

Again, an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many people avoid going to the dentist or attending regular check-ups. Don’t avoid him/her, the dentist is your mate, and will detect any problems that could cause you issues later down the line. All in all, you should be having regular check-ups at least every 6 months, and the more you go, the better your tooth will look and feel!

Buy Antiseptic Mouthwash… Go On!

You may think that just brushing your pegs is enough, but sadly – it isn’t! Sure, brushing is a fantastic way of protecting your teeth from decay and food damage, however, mouthwash will provide your teeth and gums with a little extra TLC. Seriously, start mouthwashing and you’ll soon start to see the difference!

Live Well

Living well isn’t just about eating well and exercising, it’s about promoting good health from within. Yep, that means ditch the cigarettes, lessen up on the old vino and fill your bod with more of the food and liquid that it really needs. Just changing up your lifestyle will really enhance your dental health, as well as the rest of you.
