Tips for keeping teeth in tip-top shape

If you want to keep your natural teeth longer, try these strategies:

 

  1. Floss, then brush. When you floss first, you remove the plaque and food particles from between your teeth – that way, the fluoride from your toothpaste can get in there when you brush.
     
  2. Stop the daily grind. If you're one of the 10% of Americans who clench and grind their teethat night, then you're losing tooth enamel up to 10 times faster than the rest of us. Grinding can also cause teeth to fracture or become loose – and cause headaches, jaw pain, and sleep loss. You may need a custom fit night guard to ease your symptoms and prevent potential tooth damage. Night guards are effective in more than 74 percent of patients, and can be prescribed by your dentist at Q-Dental.
