The start of the new year is the perfect time to make much needed changes to your life. Setting new goals for yourself is an excellent way to promote your quality of life and well-being. As the new year starts, one of your new resolutions for the year should be to recommit to your dental health. As your dentist in Hiram, GA, we have simple New Year’s Resolutions to promote better dental health.
Improve Your Oral Hygiene
Let’s be honest, we do not always brush our teeth twice a day or floss daily. Sometimes, we just get too busy and forget. No matter how hectic your schedule may be, you need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Your home oral hygiene habits are vital to protecting the health of your teeth and gums.
Visit Your Dentist Twice a Year
Often, we do not visit the dentist until after a problem has developed. But, by doing this, you are causing problems to develop that could have been prevented with regular care. Your home oral hygiene habits and your regular dental appointments are the foundation to a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
Eat a Balanced Diet
While the foods you eat may not seem like they are important to your oral health, they are. The foods and drinks you consume can either hurt or help your oral health. This year, choose a healthy diet that is limited in sugary and starchy foods to lessen the risk for tooth decay. With a well-balanced diet, you will ensure your teeth stay strong and healthy.
Get a Confident Smile
The appearance of your smile plays an important role in your enjoyment for life. If you do not have a confident smile, it is time to consider cosmetic dentistry. Using simple procedures, we will transform the appearance of your teeth so you can have a confident year ahead.
Repair Damage
If you have been delaying a dental procedure to repair a tooth, do not delay care any longer. The longer you wait, the more extensive the damage will become. If you wait too long, we may not be able to save the tooth. If you need restorative dentistry, make it a priority to restore the health and function of your teeth.
Stop Damaging Lifestyle Habits
Certain lifestyle habits, like smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, are not just bad for your overall health, but your oral health as well. This year, commit to being a happier and healthier you while smiling brightly. If you use tobacco or drink alcohol, make this year the year you change your habits.
