1. Start your spring cleaning by replacing your toothbrush!
The Canadian Dental Association recommends you replace your toothbrush (or brush head, if you use an electric toothbrush) every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or if you’ve been ill. When was the last time you replaced YOUR toothbrush?
Since we’re on the topic of toothbrushes, here are a few additional spring-cleaning tips:
· Never share your toothbrush.
· Store toothbrushes upright if possible so they can air-dry faster after use.
· Rinse your brush thoroughly with tap water after use.
2. Freshen up your oral health routine.
Once you have a new brush, check how much toothpaste, mouthwash, and floss you have. This would be a good chance to try a new product, whether it’s a different brand of floss or flavor of mouthwash. These small changes can revitalize your bathroom habits and keep you up-to-date with your oral hygiene.
You should always brush twice a day or more and floss once a day. Most of our patients find it easier to floss at night as part of their bedtime routine. Now is the time to get your dental health habits in line. Brushing and flossing now will save you from restorative dental care later. Don’t forget to brush your tongue too!
