Winter is over, the flowers are blooming, and it\u2019s as good of a time as any for a little bit of spring cleaning! For many of us, that means tidying up our homes and getting rid of all that extra clutter. But your living space isn\u2019t the only thing you should consider cleaning up this season; your pearly whites could probably also benefit from some care! Here are a few tips from your dentist<\/a> to help you bolster your oral hygiene routine this spring so that you can set your smile up for a healthy and bright rest of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Update Your Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your toothbrush is your primary means of caring for your teeth, so you should inspect it for signs of fraying or discoloration. Brushes with fresh, softer bristles are ideal since they minimize enamel loss. It\u2019s important to replace your toothbrush every 3 or so months, but even sooner if you\u2019ve been sick. It\u2019s also worth noting that electric toothbrushes are worth considering, as they\u2019ve been proven to clean more thoroughly than their manual counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sanitize Your Toothbrush Holder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While replacing your toothbrush as needed is a good way to keep things sanitary, it\u2019s also wise to ensure that where <\/em>you\u2019re storing your toothbrush is kept clean. The container where you leave your brush is exposed to the very same germs and bacteria that thrive throughout the rest of your bathroom, so be sure that you\u2019re sanitizing it regularly to prevent the transmission of bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Check Expiration Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like anything you\u2019d find in your refrigerator or pantry, dental hygiene products also have expiration dates and shouldn\u2019t be used if these dates have passed. It never hurts to double-check that the product you\u2019re using is still good; you wouldn\u2019t want to cause any unnecessary complications!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Set Up a Professional Spring Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kicking off your spring season with a dental checkup might not seem as exciting as taking a road trip down to the beach, but these visits are a great way to put your smile\u2019s well-being first. Not only do they let your dentist keep tabs on the status of your smile, but it lets them safeguard it from future issues. During these visits, your dental team will polish away stains, remove tartar, and scrape away the plaque that threatens your teeth. This leaves your smile as healthy and bright as possible moving forward; you simply can\u2019t replicate what your dentist can do in your own bathroom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
