Do you have a checklist that you carry around with you, so you never forget a single detail about your oral health? We didn’t think so! While we don’t expect you (nor encourage you) to become completely obsessed with your smile, we do encourage you to check in with it every now and then (and the associated products, visits, and more) that it requires to remain safe. For a quick way to review and make sure you’re on top of it all, we recommend three things you should check today for the sake of your teeth and gums.
#1: Check The Age Of Your Toothbrush
Time to check in on your oral health by checking the age of your toothbrush. It’s easy to let this one slip by until your brush is way out of date. Here’s what you need to remember: Once the brush is older than four months, it needs to be disposed of. Then, you need a brand new one. (Or, if the brush looks a bit destroyed sooner than that, then you’re free to start fresh).
#2: Check Your Medicine Cabinet
Check out what you don’t have much of in your cabinet. Are you running low on your toothbrush backups, your toothpaste, your dental floss, or something else for your smile? Re-stock before you run out, so you don’t face any oral health blunders.
#3: Check Your Calendar
Do you have your next dental checkup and cleaning scheduled with us? If not, what are you waiting for? You need one every six months, so it’s never too early to set up your appointment. In fact, the sooner you do, the easier it is to nab the date and specific time that you want and that best works for your schedule. Just give us a call!
