And while things may not be normalized in the world, we can have some type of control in our lives. And the new year is always the time we stop and reflect on what improvements we\u2019d like to see in the new year. One area that is generally overlooked when considering <a href=\"http:\/\/parade.com\/969195\/megangrant\/new-years-resolutions-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resolutions<\/a> is our dental routine. Dental health is important because it can influence other health issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that the average person spends around 30 seconds brushing their teeth, compared to the recommended two minutes? Yes, the same amount of time you should be washing your hands is the same amount of time that you should be brushing your teeth. So, let\u2019s start these new routines with a refresher course:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brush twice a day for at least two minutes each session<\/li><li>Floss once a day before you sleep<\/li><li>Rinse with a fluoride mouthwash before you brush to loosen particles<\/li><li>Limit the daily snacks consumed, especially those full of sugar<\/li><li>Visiting the dentist every 3-6 months for regular checkups and <a href=\"http:\/\/hbadvanceddentalspecialists.com\/huntington-beach-contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional cleaning<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When brushing your teeth, make sure that every surface is brushed and cleaned as thoroughly as possible. Use short, gentle strokes with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying extra attention to your gums, the back teeth and areas around dental work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for flossing, start with about 18 inches or so of floss, hold it between your thumbs and index fingers, then gently slide it in between the gaps of your teeth. Slowly move the floss back-and-forth to bring it away from your teeth without causing any harm. Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like to find out more about improving your dental health , contact Dr. Gamarnik\u00a0at 714-842-5626 to schedule a consultation or visit\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/hbadvanceddentalspecialists.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.hbadvanceddentalspecialists.com\u00a0<\/a>for additional information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Rudy Gamarnik proudly serves Huntington Beach and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are again \u2013 on the brink of a new year.
