It might be hard to believe, but 2022 is almost over. With a fresh start just around the corner, you might be planning your new year\u2019s resolutions already. If so, consider adding some oral health-related ones to the list. Here are a few to consider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Brush for Two Full Minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brushing each morning and evening is a great start. However, the amount of time you dedicate to this process is equally as important. To thoroughly clean your teeth, you should brush for a full two minutes. A great place to start is by timing yourself \u2013 you might be surprised how far off you are! To help you keep this resolution through all of 2023, consider getting a toothbrush with a built-in timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Floss Every Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be honest\u2026 Do you floss every single day? If not, there is no time like the present to start! After all, brushing alone only cleans about 60% of the surface of your teeth. To effectively clean along your gumline and between your teeth, it\u2019s crucial that you floss as well. If you need a little extra motivation to complete this task, consider getting a \u201cfun\u201d alternative, like colorful floss or a water flosser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visit Your Dentist Every Six Months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your six-month checkups and cleanings<\/a> are crucial for a number of reasons. In addition to allowing your dentist to periodically screen for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer, these appointments give them the opportunity to remove stubborn plaque and tartar. So, if your first visit of 2023 is not yet on the calendar, now is the time to schedule it! It\u2019s an easy way to set yourself up for success in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Commit to Small, Smile-Friendly Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your diet directly impacts the condition of your oral health. So, consider making healthier decisions in 2023! Even small changes like opting for sugar-free instead of regular gum can go a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Make Water Your Go-To Beverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water is your smile\u2019s best friend. In addition to being sugar-free, it\u2019s clear, which prevents stains. Plus, it helps remove food particles from your teeth, keeps you hydrated, and prevents dry mouth. As a result, one of the best things you can do is opt for water over soda, wine, and coffee in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 will be here before you know it, so the time to plan is now! Set yourself up for success by scheduling your first checkup and cleaning of the year today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
