A hectic lifestyle can often get in the way of good dental health, but it only takes a little thought to make sure you can enjoy fresh breath and excellent oral health. Follow our easy tips for a healthy, attractive smile.
Cavities Are Contagious
Cavities are caused by bacteria that can be transmitted through kissing or even just sharing a fork. Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss once-a-day and ensure your kissing partner does the same!
Beware of Bad Breath
Bacteria also cause bad breath, so habits such as regular brushing and flossing are critical for fresh breath. Also, it’s helpful to chew sugar-free gum which stimulates saliva flow, and you can freshen breath by using an antimicrobial mouthwash.
Sharing Is Great but Just Not Your Toothbrush
Many close couples like to share everything, but you should never share your toothbrush because it also means you are sharing each other’s bacteria. Keep a spare brush at your significant others home and make sure they do the same.
There’s Nothing Attractive About Smoking
Smoking is terrible for dental and general health, and it does nothing for your smile. It gives you bad breath and stains your teeth, and people who smoke are more likely to get gum disease and are at a higher risk of oral cancer.
