When was the last time you replaced your toothbrush? We throw out expired foods, restock vitamins and supplements, and replace our beauty products often, but when it comes to health and beauty, it\u2019s our dental hygiene that doesn\u2019t get as much attention or thought as other areas of our regimen. However, there are important rules and tips you should follow for maintaining optimal dental health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As you\u2019re planning your garden this year, I highly encourage you to add some edibles alongside your cut flowers. Not only are they beautiful for arrangements, they are wonderful for eating. We chose the varieties in Floret\u2019s collection of edibles\u2014including edible flowers.<\/p>

Do you enjoy growing vegetables and edible flowers you can use in arrangements? Are there other varieties you\u2019d like to try? I\u2019d love to hear about your plans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If knowing that bacteria and fungus accumulates on your toothbrush bristles overtime isn\u2019t enough reason to replace your toothbrush more often, there are also a number of other risks and uninviting issues involved with not replacing your toothbrush. One risk includes damaging your gums, as old toothbrushes become ineffective with removing plaque from your teeth, which leads to gingivitis. Left untreated, gingivitis leads to infection, which can cause teeth to fall out.<\/p>

Even more unappealing, you can get sick from overused toothbrushes (see: bacteria and fungus build up), your toothbrush can grow mold, or possibly the least appealing, you can ingest unwanted particles if stored near a toilet.<\/p>

I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m going to go change my toothbrush right now and schedule a\u00a0deep cleaning\u00a0with my dentist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ask your dentist during your next dental checkup and cleaning for recommendations about what you should be buying based off your individual needs, your particular dental health state, etc.<\/p>

Some common suggestions among dental professionals are to look for toothbrushes with soft bristles, as hard bristles damage your teeth and gums, choose a toothbrush head size that touches one or two teeth at a time, use a toothpaste containing fluoride approved by the ADA, consider using mouthwash to further fight plaque and gingivitis, and don\u2019t forget floss!<\/p>

Consider investing in an electric toothbrush, as these have been proven to improve oral health beyond what a manual toothbrush can do by removing plaque, reducing gingivitis and eliminating teeth staining. They\u2019ve also been shown to minimize the amount of plaque on the teeth of people with\u00a0periodontal disease.<\/p>

Do your research on what products fit your needs best, and don\u2019t forget to ask your dentist for recommendations.<\/p>
