Have you ever pictured yourself as a Gold Medal Winner?

I imagine it would involve training to be our best. 

We would have a support team. This team would cheer us on. They would make sure we did everything we needed to do to earn that Gold Medal. 

When we compete, our support team would be there. 

When we win, we would stand on top of the podium and we would have that Gold Medal. Our support team would be there with us, still cheering us on. 

You can have a Gold Medal Mouth Care Routine!

Training for a healthy mouth requires dedication, consistent routines and a support team. At Twin Oaks Dental, we know that a Gold Medal Mouth Care Routine will help keep you out of the dental chair. The best kind of dentistry is the least amount of dentistry. 

Here are the top 5 training tips for a healthy oral microbiome:

1. Sip on water. 

Sipping on water helps saliva do its job. Save coffee, sparkling water, lemon water and even greens drinks for meal time. 

2. Nasal Breathing. 

Closing your mouth and breathing through your nose allows the moisture to stay in your mouth. This helps maintain a neutral pH. 

3. Stop using antimicrobial mouth products. 

Gentle products support a balanced oral microbiome. A balanced oral microbiome will assist in maintaining healthy blood pressure and reinforce a healthy immune system.

4. Mineral consumption through diet and supplements. 

Minerals like calcium, magnesium and phosphate naturally work to protect the enamel and prevent inflammation. 

5. Reduce Stress. 

Chronic stress increases inflammation. Inflammation doesn’t stop in one area of your body. Everything is affected. Walking, yoga, massage, journaling and meditation are all stress reducing. 

What is your favorite way to reduce stress?

Brushing and flossing are great tools but training for Gold requires extra effort. 

We are your support team. 

We will cheer for you today during training and when you earn your Gold Medal!
