It\u2019s a new year, which means one thing to many people: New Year\u2019s Resolutions. What do you want to be better in 2017? Your health?<\/strong> Your appearance?<\/strong> You can easily improve both <\/strong>this year by taking better care of your teeth. These 5 healthy habits from Dr. Tad Morgan, your dentist in Bullard, will enhance the look of your smile and make it healthier than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Better Brushing and Flossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you diligently clean your teeth every day, but are you doing it the best possible way? Many people only brush once a day, but ideally you should brush in the morning and <\/em>at night. How about your gums? When was the last time you actually thought about them? They\u2019re just as important as your teeth when it comes to your oral health<\/strong>. They protect your teeth\u2019s sensitive roots while bringing them precious blood and providing them essential support. This year, while you\u2019re brushing, be sure to clean where your teeth meet your gums, and you\u2019ll be helping your smile tremendously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Limit the Sugary Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cavities are caused by sugar. More specifically, the naturally occurring bacteria in your mouth consumes leftover sugar on your teeth and turns it into acidic plaque, which breaks down your enamel. Drinks high in sugar like sodas, juices, and energy drinks speed up this process. You don\u2019t need to give them up entirely, just limit your consumption to help protect your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Drink More Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This will help you with #2. Whenever you\u2019re thirsty, you should try and just drink water. Not only will it keep you hydrated, but it will also give your teeth a nice rinse, removing excess sugar and food particles. It\u2019s the next best thing to brushing your teeth, so give yourself a quick rinse during the day after meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Stop Using Tobacco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both smoking and smokeless tobacco can wreak havoc on your teeth and gums. They can create a sticky film that is difficult to brush off, which make stains cling to them. They also leave you vulnerable to gum disease, which is actually the leading cause of tooth loss. Do whatever you can to limit your use of tobacco, and you\u2019ll start to see dramatic changes in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. See Us Regularly!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No dental care regimen would be complete without regular cleanings and check-ups with your dentist in Bullard. Two short visits each year allow Dr. Morgan and his team to clean your teeth in ways you simply can\u2019t at home, and give them the chance to catch any dental issues you might have early. They can help you finally take care of your broken and missing teeth, and even take your smile to the next level with a variety of cosmetic treatments. All in all, Dr. Morgan can do things for your teeth that you can\u2019t on your own, and they may be exactly what your smile needs to be its best in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want To Know More?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The year is just starting, which means you have plenty of time to see the benefits from these habits. Most of them only take a few minutes a day (some less), but can dramatically change the look and feel of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
