Oral Care Hygiene Routine

Oral care is very important to me. However, I’m one of those people who likes taking care of my teeth without putting too much of a fuss behind it. 

I purchase oral care hygiene products that are easily accessible at my local drugstore. As you can see I’m a fan of Colgate and drugstore brand products.

I’m a huge fan of Colgate Optic White toothpaste series and I’ve used all the flavours that they offer — they are all good! When it comes to flossing, using floss that has already been threaded for you is great when you’re in a rush. I also enjoy using floss in the traditional way (you thread your desired amount of thread from the container, wrap it around your finger and begin flossing) as I find they provide a deeper clean between the gums.

When it comes to taking care of my teeth I keep a very basic routine:

• brush
• floss
• mouthwash
• whiten my teeth once a week with charcoal using Organika Activated Charcoal

I’ve been using all of the products viewed in this post for years and they work well for me! I’ll admit, there are daily habits that I practice to further ensure a white smile. To see what they are read below!

• After drinking coffee or tea I like to brush my teeth to reduce staining. If I don’t have the opportunity to brush my teeth after consuming these beverages I make sure to eat an apple to help reduce the potential of my teeth staining
• When drinking acidic beverages (such as lemon water), I avoid having the acidic water touch my teeth to reduce its affect on my enamel
• When brushing my teeth I use gentle brush strokes to avoid damaging my gums. I’ve done so in the past, trust me — it’s not a good feeling
• I always floss
• I always brush my tongue
• I purchase a new toothbrush every month. I prefer using a toothbrush that has soft bristles to prevent gum damage that may occur from brushing
• Annual visits to my dentist
