End Of Day Habits Undermining Your Smile Care
What do you do at the end of the day that might be completely undermining the oral health protection you’re providing yourself all day long? If you think to yourself that this doesn’t matter because you’re putting so many hours in of being careful with your smile through the morning, afternoon, and evening, and that a few nightly bad habits won’t count … this isn’t exactly how smile care works! Even if you already realize this, you may still be taking a few missteps. In order to be as consistent as possible, so your smile remains clean and safe, we suggest you consider habits our Saxonburg, PA team knows you might not even realize you’re participating in (and stop them)!
You Snack Before Or In Bed
Are you brushing in the morning, being careful throughout the day, and then at night, you’re brushing and then hopping into bed with your favorite snack? Maybe you brush, head to the kitchen for a quick taste of something yummy, and then go to sleep. However you’re doing it, you’re jeopardizing your smile health in a big way! Instead, keep that smile care on track by only consuming water after dental hygiene and get right into bed!
You Skip Your Evening Hygiene Session
We hope you remember that if you’re on track for most of the day, you’re going to take a bit of a nosedive with your smile care and your oral health, too, if you aren’t brushing and flossing at night. Don’t skip a session! Remember, too that you really do have to brush and floss every day. So, if you didn’t floss in the morning, definitely do it at night. It’s that easy. Dental hygiene morning and evening!
You Don’t Rinse After Your Dessert
Maybe you save dessert for nighttime and you’re pretty good throughout the day. However, though you’ve been detail-oriented with your smile care throughout the daylight hours, you fail to realize that your post-dinner dessert is full of sugar, it’s coating your smile, and that the hours that pass between dinner and your bedtime dental hygiene routine allow for plenty of time for damage to occur! Fortunately, this one is very easy to solve, so you do not have to worry you’re undermining an entire day of care that is otherwise quite spot on! Instead of just walking away from the table with dessert still saturating your smile, drink some water! Or, head to the bathroom and rinse well. It’s a very easy way to flush sugars away, so you’ll be ready for your brushing and flossing when it’s time.
