Everyone knows that braces can allow us to get perfectly straight teeth after the treatment has progressed. There are also some other less known benefits that you can experience after you undergo treatment with braces especially if you have had difficulties with your teeth before. Here are some of the untold benefits of braces.
Words of Wisdom No.9 – “Brush Your Teeth When You First Get Out of Bed and Before You Get Back In at Night”Brushing your teeth properly at the prescribed number of times is a good way to keep them healthy. However, it is also important to know when to brush your teeth in different times of the day. You need to brush your teeth when you first get out of bed and before you get back in at night. This is to ensure that all the bacteria that have accumulated over the night will be removed before you face the day. If not, this can cause bad breath and the people you meet over the day will surely suffer set aside the fact that you can bring a bad image about yourself.
Brushing your teeth before you go to sleep on the other hand will help you make sure that there’s no food residue left in your mouth. These residues harbor bacteria buildup which can cause your teeth to decay while you sleep. If you don’t brush your teeth every night, then this cycle will continue as you sleep and sooner or later, you’ll be on your way for tooth extraction. As much as possible, you wanted to avoid extraction not only because it is painful but also because it could affect your overall mouth functions such as chewing, speaking, and etc.
Ignoring your teeth for too long might cause them to rot away, leading to inevitable extraction. This can also affect how you look and in fact, it may lower your self-confidence. Lowered self-esteem can also lower your chances of having a good and satisfying life.

Brushing Twice a Day is the New Mantra
There are actually various ways to stay fresh. Brushing your mouth on the prescribed frequency everyday can help remove bacteria and prevent tooth decay. Aside from brushing your teeth regularly, you could also use a mouthwash from time to time in order to freshen up your mouth. If you want to check how your mouth smells, you could lick your hand, and then smell it while it’s still wet. If it already stinks, then it’s time for you to take a sugar-free breath mint (if you’re in no place to use a mouthwash).
If you’re looking for a good mouthwash, consider those with less alcohol or are alcohol-free. Too much alcohol can actually dry up the tissues in your mouth making it more susceptible to bacteria. The more bacteria that thrive in your mouth, the more smelly it becomes. There’s also a higher risk of tooth decay especially if you happen to frequently use mouthwashes with more alcohol. Instead of making your mouth fresh, they may have an opposite effect.
If you really want to make sure that you’ve selected the best mouthwash you could use, try visiting the best dental clinic in your area.
