Five tips from your Newington dentist for a bright smile

Everything  you eat affects  your body, for better or for worse,  including your mouth and teeth. Proper eating habits and oral practices are therefore, very critical in maintaining good oral hygiene that leads to a perfect smile.

According to our Newington dentist, following are the 5 most important tips that will help you to achieve a healthier and brighter smile:

1. Brush and floss – Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day to prevent plaque formation and accumulation of disease-causing bacteria in the mouth.
2. Avoid  harmful foods and drinks – There are plenty of foods that can harm your teeth and oral cavity, causing staining of teeth too. Cutting down on or avoiding excess of coffee, tea, acidic and sugary food will help to maintain  a brighter smile.
3. Eat more of fruits and vegetables – Include more of crunchy fruits and vegetables in your diet as they naturally ex-foliate stains  on the  teeth.
4. Visit your dentist – Getting teeth cleaned professionally on a regular basis will prevent tartar build-up and gum diseases.
5. Quit smoking – As smoking is one of the major causes for staining of teeth, quitting smoking will help to maintain a brighter smile.
