Are you feeling “so over” your dental hygiene approach and want to try something new? Maybe there’s just one part of your care that you’re displeased with. So, why not try a new product, method, etc.? If you think that it’s important to keep everything exactly the same to see results, you are a bit off the mark. Yes, you need to brush twice a day. You should brush for two minutes when you do brush. You also need to floss daily. Of course, you also need to use the types of products we suggest. However, there’s still much wiggle room! Find out more.
#1: It Feels Funny
Did you just start using a toothpaste that came highly recommended to you by a friend but for some reason, it’s making your mouth feel funny? Perhaps it is too strong and it hurts a little. Maybe your mouth just feels coated, uncomfortable, or something else that you aren’t liking. Switch to some other ADA approved, fluoridated toothpaste. It won’t negatively impact your dental hygiene!
#2: It Doesn’t Seem To Be Working
Feel like your dental hygiene approach or products aren’t getting the job done? Make a change. Ask for our suggestions, use a new product, and don’t stop trying until your smile feels clean!
#3: You Don’t Like It
We cannot stress this enough but when we say it, patients are often shocked. If you don’t like a particular dental hygiene product, stop using it and find something else. This is really reason enough to make a change. We are all creatures with strong preferences! As a result, we tend to gravitate toward what we enjoy and avoid what we do not. Make sure you like your toothpaste, toothbrush, and dental floss, so you gravitate toward consistent dental hygiene!
