\"The<\/a>Something people like to ask when they search for a \u201cdentist near me\u201d is about what they can do at home to take better care of their teeth and gums. A big part of it is making sure you have the right tools — after all, it\u2019s hard to paint a masterpiece without a clean brush and fresh paints. To enjoy better oral health for a lifetime to come, take heed from <\/span>Dr. Weinman<\/span><\/a> and invest in these 4 oral care products this month. We know you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: Fluoride Toothpaste<\/span><\/h2>\n

Walk down the toothpaste aisle today and you\u2019ll be confronted with a mountain of choices — like whitening, extra whitening, tartar fighting, and the list goes on. However, the truth is there\u2019s not <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>much difference between formulas. Anti-sensitivity blends can help reduce discomfort to heat and cold, and whitening might make some difference in the shade of your smile, but the main thing to look out for in any toothpaste blend is that it has fluoride. Look out for one that is approved by the <\/span>American Dental Association<\/span><\/a> to make sure you\u2019re getting the full benefit of the mineral. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

#2: A Soft Toothbrush<\/span><\/h2>\n

While brushing with a firm-bristled toothbrush may feel like you are getting your teeth extra clean, you could also be putting your gums at risk of injury or recession by brushing too hard. Protect your sensitive soft tissue by brushing in gentle, circular motions using a soft bristled toothbrush. Replace it every three or four months, as soon as its bristles begin to show signs of wear and tear, or after you have been sick. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Electric Toothbrush<\/span><\/h2>\n

While you can theoretically achieve the very same clean with an electric toothbrush as you can with the good old fashioned kind, many people have trouble brushing for the complete two minutes, every single time. Most electric toothbrushes come with a timer to ensure you get a proper clean. It can also help to reduce the aggressive brushing that causes gum recession. <\/span><\/p>\n

#4: A Customized Mouthguard<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to cleaning your teeth for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, a soft-bristled brush, and flossing daily, make sure you are protecting your smile with a customized mouthguard if you play sports or grind your teeth at night. Sports injuries are some of the most frequent causes of dental emergencies, and nighttime teeth grinding causes wear and tear on the delicate tooth enamel. Investing in a mouthguard that is custom-fitted to your unique smile is a small investment that provides significant protection over time. <\/span><\/p>\n
