These are a few pointers that of what you can do on a daily basis to have healthier teeth.

Make a schedule

Many people skip the task of brushing their teeth before they go to bed. This is a routine that can get worse over time if it is repeated. Night time brushing is treated as more of a random act than a necessity.

However, it is one of the most essential actions that contribute to healthy living. If you are having trouble brushing your teeth every night, it may be easier to make a schedule. It is a great way to implement a healthy lifestyle. Schedules will help to make sure that you take care of your dental health on a consistent basis.

Making a schedule on a personal calendar may help you and your kids stick to nighttime brushing. As time passes, you may no longer need the schedule because brushing your teeth at night will become a daily routine.

Brush during television commercials

The average Sri Lankan watches over four hours of television every day. If this much time can be spent on television shows, it will not be hard for anyone to devote five minutes to brushing their teeth. In fact, brushing your teeth every night will prevent many problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis, bad breath and even heart disease. Since many people do not like to watch commercials, this time can be used to brush your teeth.

There are not many excuses available for skipping something that is so crucial to healthy living. If your teeth are taken care of during television commercials, you will not have to worry about brushing when you are ready to fall asleep.

Do not eat before going to bed

One of the mistakes that are made when it comes to healthy living is eating late at night. If you have brushed your teeth already, that effort will be ruined if food is consumed just before bedtime. Those who eat at night after bushing must brush their teeth once again.

People who do not brush their teeth at night will do more damage to themselves by eating just before bedtime as the food that is consumed will be added to the plaque and bacteria that has already formed from earlier in the daytime. Avoid the temptation to eat food later at night after you have brushed your teeth.
