Having\na good dental routine can make a world of difference when it comes to keeping\nyour teeth in their best condition. But most of us still struggle to keep up a\nregular deep cleaning schedule and as such, stains and gaps start to appear\nover time from numerous issues caused by poor maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dental<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why at Craigentinny Dental Care<\/strong> we\u2019ve came up with a few things your <\/a>dental hygienist\nin Edinburgh<\/a> might recommend you try to keep those pearly whites at\ntheir peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush often<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem pretty obvious, but it would\nsurprise you how many people still don\u2019t routinely brush their teeth. Our\nrecommendation is that you give your teeth a good scouring at least twice a\nday, in the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed are the best\ntimes to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can fit in more than twice a day then\nthat\u2019s great, just make sure you aren\u2019t too vigorous with your scrubbing though\nas it can wear down the protective enamel layers of your teeth if you\u2019re not\ncareful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget your tongue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good tip from you will get from your <\/a>dental hygienist in Edinburgh<\/strong> is to give your\ntongue a regular brush as well. This is because plaque can also build up there\nthroughout the day, which in turn creates numerous other problems over time\nlike bad breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gentle rub once a night will usually solve\nthis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to your routine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brushing alone is still good for your teeth, but\nadding in things like flossing and mouthwash will also help to keep your smile looking\nits best. Most over the counter bottles and packets of floss do a good enough\njob at removing any hard to reach plaque, just make sure to use them at least\nonce a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good brush makes all the difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of toothbrush you use can also have\nquite an effect on how clean your teeth can be. The majority of people use\nmanual brushes, which still do a great job, but an electric brush is worth a\nconsideration. These offer a deeper clean as their vibrating tips can help to\ndislodge plaque and tartar from gaps you might not be able to reach normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric brushes are also a great choice for\nthose that might have problems with mobility, like the elderly or young\nchildren just learning to brush, as it does all the work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular check-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to\ncome to the practice to see your dental hygienist<\/strong> in Edinburgh<\/strong> as often as you can.\nBooking regular appointments helps you to keep on top of any ongoing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one of these is a great way to preserve\nyour smile, but the more you include the better!  If you\u2019re looking to improve your daily dental\nroutine, then why not try making a few of the changes we mentioned above to\nhelp keep your breath fresh and your teeth sparkling for years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
