That\u2019s normal enough \u2013 neglecting teeth for sunny fun is tempting. With Fall\u2019s arrival, though, now\u2019s a great time to get back into the swing of things. You could impress your classmates with a healthy and gorgeous grin! In fact, your Long Island City dentist can help you do so. To that end, use these helpful back-to-school tips to pass your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.licdentalassociatesqueensplaza.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, establish good oral hygiene habits as you prep for the semester. They\u2019ll keep your mouth clean and fresh amidst the bustle of schoolwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, follow the three core essentials of dental care. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Daily Brushing <\/strong>\u2013 Remember to brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes at a time. Also, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste when you do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Daily Flossing <\/strong>\u2013 Floss between your teeth at least once daily, whether with traditional floss, flossers, a Waterpik, or similar tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular Mouth Rinses <\/strong>\u2013 Try to rinse with fluoridated mouthwash regularly. That way, you\u2019ll remove plaque and bacteria leftover from brushing and flossing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you stick to these morning and nightly practices, you\u2019ll greatly reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chew Sugar-Free Gum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving from one class to the next, you won\u2019t always have time to brush your teeth. To compensate, consider chewing sugar-free gum after school lunches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So long as it\u2019s sugar-free, gum is surprisingly helpful to oral health. Chewing it causes your mouth to produce saliva, which washes away leftover food and other debris. The result is a lower chance of dental issues like tooth decay and bad breath. (For an even better effect, hydrate with water once you finish chewing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Sports Mouthguard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019re on one of your school\u2019s sports teams. If so, get a mouthguard before your season starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, sports can cause all sorts of dental injuries. These incidents range from tooth chips and fractures to knocked-out teeth. That being the case, you\u2019d be wise to get and wear a sports mouthguard. This appliance would keep your pearly whites safe while you\u2019re on the field or court. By shielding your smile from external forces, it\u2019d protect your teeth from severe harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, back-to-school tips really can help with a dental exam. So, use the ones above to pass your next one with flying colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.licdentalassociatesqueensplaza.com\/\">LIC Dental Associates at Court Square<\/a><\/em><em> is based in Long Island City, NY.
