Here\u2019s a New Year\u2019s Resolution You can Smile About! Ten Steps to Happy Teeth and a Happy You:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"smile\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Floss once a day. Without flossing you miss 40% of the tooth surface.<\/li>\n
  2. Brush twice a day. Brush for 2 minutes with a fluoride toothpaste, and brush your tongue.<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule at least 2 dental check-ups and cleanings each year.<\/li>\n
  4. Eat healthy. Cut down on sweets and eat more fruits and veggies.<\/li>\n
  5. Stop smoking. It\u2019s bad for everything!<\/li>\n
  6. Drink more water. Stop drinking soda!<\/li>\n
  7. Stress causes you to clench and grind your teeth, wearing them down and breaking your teeth. Try to relax more and have your dentist make you a nightguard if you grind.<\/li>\n
  8. Chew sugarless gum after meals. This stimulates saliva flow to clean off your teeth.<\/li>\n
  9. Wear a custom fit sports mouthguard when playing contact sports to prevent broken teeth and concussions.<\/li>\n
  10. Smile more. It will boost your immune system and you will feel better :-)))<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
