HEALTHY HABITS

Be it our laziness or the fear of not being able to have midnight snacks after brushing at night, we often neglect to brush our teeth before going to bed. But the simple habit of brushing your teeth twice a day will reduce your chance of getting dreadful tooth problems, bleeding gums, bad breath, and most importantly, will save your money on dental care.

* Brushing helps you get rid of food and plaque at the junction of your teeth. While night brushing does it effectively for you, it also lets you sleep with a clean and refreshed mouth. 
* Brush twice a day to have a healthy heart. Research shows that brushing your teeth can help protect you from heart attacks by fighting bacteria in your mouth that causes stiffening of the arteries which may lead to heart attacks.
* You may need to brush more than twice considering the kind of diet you are having. An immediate brush right after having acidic food and drink may weaken your tooth enamel. You might consider brushing your tooth before having those kind of foods or brush them after half an hour minimum. 
* Don't forget to get yourself a new toothbrush every three to four months or the moment you see the bristles are worn and frayed.
* Other than cleaning your teeth twice a day, scheduling regular dental checkups is a must for a healthy set of teeth.
