How to Take Care of Your Teeth During COVID-19 and Prevent a Dental Emergency
Brush twice a day. And not just a quick swipe. Brush for at least two minutes, staying for 30 seconds in each quadrant of your mouth. If you find this difficult to maintain, try an electric toothbrush. There are several models with timers that will run for two minutes and beep every 30 seconds so you’ll know when to move on.
Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle to your tooth’s surface and aim for your gums. For the best results, brush in an up-and-down fashion on the front and back surfaces, then back and forth on the flat tops. Be sure to cover all the bases: front, back, and the chewing surfaces on top.
Rinse Your Mouth:
The last thing to do after you’ve thoroughly brushed and flossed is to rinse your mouth with mouthwash. Any brand will do, so pick one with a flavor you like, and you’ll be more liable to do it regularly. Pour out a capful of mouthwash and swoosh it around in your mouth for 30 seconds, making sure your lips are closed and the mouthwash stays in your mouth to do its job. Then spit it out. This simple act helps clear out the tidbits of toothpaste and food that even brushing and flossing can miss. And it leaves your mouth feeling totally refreshed
Flossing before brushing will remove food, plaque, and saliva from the gum line and between the teeth. Then when brushing, these particles are removed. This also allows fluoride and toothpaste to get into those now-vacant areas where food was trapped
Stay Hydrated:
Your body needs a lot of water so that it can produce enough saliva to maintain your oral health. Why is this important? Saliva is a protective fluid that helps your mouth maintain a more neutral pH, and it washes away excess food particles, old skin cells, and bacteria. It also contains specific minerals to protect your teeth and lower your risk of decay
Reduce Your Daily Intake of Sugar:
When you frequently snack on sugary foods, it increases the acidity in your mouth. This acid attacks your tooth enamel and weakens it, eventually resulting in cavities. So be careful about your intake of sugar and if you want to snack on sweet treats, include them as part of your main meal, as it will reduce the amount of time your mouth is acidic and the potential damage to your teeth.
