AN ORAL HEALTH CHALLENGE FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY
NEW YEAR

• Healthy New Year Take an oral health challenge
  as part of your New Years resolutions this
  coming year. But making healthier teeth a
  priority doesnt only affect your teeth and gums.
• Having a healthy mouth can lead to a healthier
  life overall. Gum disease, misalignment, and
  other oral health issues if untreated can
  lead to serious deterioration of your overall
  health.
• Making a few small changes to your oral health
  regimen, on the other hand, can keep both your
  teeth and the rest of your body happy all year
  long. Here are some ideas.

EAT HEALTHIER FOODS AND BRUSH AFTERWARDS

• Although you might have indulged a bit more than
  you should have over the holidays, the New Years
  holiday can mark a fresh start. Challenge
  yourself to eat more vegetables and fruit, eat
  fewer sweets, and drink more water and fewer
  fizzy and alcoholic beverages.
• Kick smoking to the kerb, too. Thats two New
  Years resolutions for the price of one!

• After your healthy meal, be sure to brush as soon
  as you can. If youre eating out, consider taking
  a travel-sized toothbrush along with you.
• If you cant, do the next best thing. Excuse
  yourself to the washroom and rinse your mouth out
  after your meal. Brushing or rinsing after you
  eat will rid your mouth of harmful acids and
  bacteria that linger long once you finish your
  meal.

DONT FORGET TO FLOSS

• Brushing your teeth only removes some of the food
  particles that lodge in the nooks and crannies on
  your teeth. To really get a deep clean, you need
  to clean between your teeth with dental floss.
• Flossing helps reduce dental plaque and
  stimulates your gums, making you less susceptible
  to gum disease and cavities. Floss at least once
  a day for about two minutes for best results.

CHALLENGE YOUR KIDS TO HAVE BETTER ORAL HEALTH

• Only 7 in 10 Australian children between the ages
  of 5 and 14 brush properly the required two times
  a day. Its no wonder that 60 to 90 per cent of
  children have cavities, as studies show.
• Engage them in your oral health challenge, too.
• Keep a chart in the bathroom or on the fridge
  where your kiddos can check off their twice-daily
  oral health routine. Teach them to floss, too, so
  theyll have healthy gums for a lifetime. Reward
  them with a prize for maintaining that routine
  every month or week whatever works best for
  your family.
