Fall Dental Tips

When one prepares for a cold season, it is important to take extra precautions on your health. Good oral health should be practiced year round, but incase you got caught up in the warm summer heat or recent festivities, here are a few fall dental tips. 

Brush After Eating
As one gets into the fall season, which is filled with many holidays, one should try to brush after consuming sugary foods and beverages. But when you don't get an opportunity to brush your teeth, at least rinse your mouth with water.

Get Regular Dental Check-ups
It is recommended to visit us at GT Dental in Toronto for dental cleanings twice a year. Patients with related dental issues should make an effort to see the dentist more than twice a year to find any problems early by doing this. It is best to treat any dental problems sooner before they get worse.

Floss After Brushing
Flossing is much imperative as brushing your teeth. One must floss at least once per day. Flossing helps remove food particles and bacteria that can cause tooth decay. From several different types of floss, choose one that fits nicely between your teeth.

Avoid Teeth-Damaging Foods and SubstancesOne should stay away from sugary foods such as caramel apples, sticky candy, and crunchy nuts that can cause cavities. Instead choose fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, berries, and squash. The fall season is well known for its outdoor activities, it is full of fun, but you should not neglect your oral health during this season. If you've had a lot of dental unfriendly foods this past thanksgiving and halloween, it may be best to visit us at GT Dental in Toronto for a dental checkup.

Don't forget that regular dental cleanings and checkups are a key factor in good oral hygiene. Visit us at GT Dental, in Toronto, today for a dental cleaning. Contact us to schedule an appointment!
