Four more tips for a healthy mouth

This is a continuation of more effective tips that will help keep bacteria from reeking havoc inside your mouth and costing you time and having to fork over money for dental visits to correct the damage bacteria has caused your teeth and gums. Save yourself this grief.   Take action to these few tips using very inexpensive products and save yourself some money and it's good for overall health, too. Teach your kids good dental habits and they might have less cavities and dental problems, as well.

1.  Floss. Do it twice a day at least.  Flossing removes food lodged between teeth. If left there, bacteria starts.
2. Swish some hydrogen peroxide in your mouth. You can dilute 1:1 with water, but you don't have to. It's not a bad taste, just not good tasty taste. It does fizz, so half to one ounce, is all you need, swish 10-15 seconds, then spit it out.
3. Use a water pick or water-flosser for getting under the gum line. This is almost a must have. This product is great- you might put your dentist out of business. (just kidding)
4. Brush your teeth with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and you're done.

Good oral care is important for good health

Bonus tips: The water pick or water-flosser will be the most expensive item, but well worth investing in for yourself and family.  Using water, it dislodges plaque from beneath the gum line.  The floss, hydrogen peroxide and toothpaste are very inexpensive items.  The trick to get good oral health benefits is to use them at least twice daily, every day.   This will help your general health, your heart, your breath, and your teeth will brighten a few shades from the hydrogen peroxide. And I do recommend a new toothbrush after a cold or flu or every 4-6 months. In between like to soak my toothbrush in Thieves® ( a blend of essential oils) to keep germs and make my toothbrush taste yummy.  Keep clean whatever you place in your mouth.

Extra bonus tip: Close toilet lid before flushing to keep toilet water particles gone airborne when flushing occurs from landing on your toothbrush and/or other surfaces near the toilet. Close the toilet lid!

You're finished. Now, flash those pearly whites.     These are gems, Jerry, good health gems!
