\"Smiling<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s well into January now, so maybe you\u2019re thinking of starting some New Year\u2019s resolutions. Perhaps you\u2019d like to spend 2023 learning a new language, losing weight, or something else. Whatever goals you have, though, you should ensure \u201cgood oral health\u201d is one of those projects. If you do, you\u2019ll enjoy a healthy smile<\/a> for most of the year! Luckily enough, your local Columbus dentist can help you with this task. Here are four oral health resolutions that\u2019ll make 2023 a great time for your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Floss Daily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You likely know you should floss daily, but many people don\u2019t follow the habit. Doing so, after all, can seem tedious at best and pointless at worst. Still, the truth is that flossing reduces your risk of gum disease and tooth decay in hard-to-reach mouth areas. You\u2019re thus better off using the string than leaving it alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle with daily flossing, there are alternatives to traditional floss. You could always try using a flosser tool, interdental brushes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Brush for the Full 2 Minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another good resolution for your smile is brushing for the full two minutes. After all, studies show that many Americans don\u2019t meet that time in the first place. Instead, most won\u2019t even brush for just one minute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t too tricky to extend your brushing time. One option is to use a timer \u2014 a regular one, a kind built into an electric toothbrush, or so on. On the other hand, you may want to sing a timing song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Get Dental Restorations or Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re struggling with missing or misaligned teeth, now is the perfect time to treat such issues. You don\u2019t want to deal with smile gaps and improper bites forever, right? Plus, leaving these problems untended can lead to worse ones later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your local dentist, you can get restorations or orthodontics as a solution. These might range from dental implants that restore your smile to Invisalign that straightens it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Quit Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smoking affects more than just your heart and lungs; it\u2019s also caustic to your oral health. Tobacco, you see, can stain your teeth, cause gum disease, and even trigger oral cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your smile, you could resolve to quit smoking. The power is in your hands! Nicotine is highly addictive, however, so consult your medical or dental professional for expert insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should strive to make 2023 a year of excellent oral health. Therefore, use the resolutions above in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
