New Year, New Smile, More Confident You!

 

Let’s be honest. We pretty much know the general things we should be doing each day for our oral health, and what should be part of our NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE. Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes, and many of our best intentions erode like our teeth as the year goes on. But not anymore, as it's January, which means a FRESH START for your oral health with some NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS!

And as you start to plan your New Year’s resolutions, the ones in regard to your oral health should certainly be at the top of your list. This is because even small resolutions can provide large benefits to you and your health. Small resolutions will also be easy to continue and manage throughout the year. (1)

So even though there are some resolutions you already know you should be making, there are some you might not have thought of that would be wise to make and keep to ensure a BRIGHTER SMILE, FRESHER BREATH, and an overall HEALTHIER MOUTH next year.

In this blog we talk about the benefits of making oral care resolutions, and how you can enjoy STRONGER ORAL HEALTH all year long!

 

 

A NEW YEAR'S RESET

 

 

Though there are certain elements of an NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE that should already be habit, sometimes we can use a reminder and a fresh start. That’s what so great about New Year’s, as it’s never been a better time to not only give your oral health a reboot, but to kick-start some of those good habits you may have had in the past, but have since ditched.

The most important (and obvious) of these habits is NATURALLY BRUSHING your teeth. Simply brushing your teeth the adequate amount of times (a minimum of two times per day) and for the right amount of time (a minimum of two minutes per brush) is one of the kindest things you can do for your oral health. This simple change to your routine can lead to less bacteria, less plaque, and less of a chance of gum disease and decay. (2)

 

This is essential, as the mouth is one of the most important – if not the most important - part of your body in need of cleaning. This is because there are many types of bacteria in your mouth – comprising your rather complicated and potentially hazardous biology. Without good oral care resolutions, dangerous bacteria can grow in your mouth, putting you at risk of plaque and disease. (3)

 

GG QUICK TIP: The foundation of your oral health starts with brushing your teeth! Brush your teeth the natural way with a healthier alternative to toothpaste - NATURAL TOOTH POWDER, a great way to whiten your teeth, protect your enamel, and instantly lift stains! (4)

 

If you need some help in determining exactly when to brush your teeth, brushing in the morning to eliminate overnight plaque buildup, and at night to eliminate all that bacteria you’ve built up during the day, is the way to go. It’s also important to remember to brush your entire mouth, not just those parts you think people can see. (5) (6)

While you’re at it, with a new year it might also be a good idea to replace your toothbrush. You should be changing your toothbrush every few months anyway, or once the bristles on your brush have become damaged. It’s also possible you just simply don’t like your current toothbrush, or maybe it’s not working for you. In this case, feel free to gift yourself a new toothbrush for a healthier new year. (5) (6)

As a tip, it also might be a good idea to switch to a toothbrush with soft bristles. Although it may seem like a harder brush can clean your teeth more efficiently, this isn’t always the case. In fact, rough bristles might actually be too rough on your teeth, leading to tooth damage over time. (7)

 

 

SMILE GOALS

 

 

Another oral care resolution you should make for a healthier mouth is NATURAL MOUTHWASH. This can really boost your oral health, strengthen your teeth, and keep your mouth healthy over time. Though not a replacement for brushing, mouthwash offers many benefits other oral care habits can’t.

The great thing about NATURAL MOUTHWASH is that it helps your gums as well as your mouth. In fact, using mouthwash can help stave off gum disease and gingivitis, necessary if you want a healthier mouth in 2026. Brushing can also leave food behind in your mouth, which NATURAL MOUTHWASH can help remedy. (8)

 

It’s also a good idea to give your oral health a chance to shine by choosing the right things to avoid. These include wine, tobacco, tea, and coffee, which can really damage the healthy shine of your teeth if you’re not careful. (9)

 

QUICK TIP: This New Year’s, don’t just make a goal, make a routine! Having a routine is something you can rely on to remedy tooth decay, which CAN be prevented. GG has a FLUORIDE-FREE ROUTINE that only takes a few minutes a day to ensure a healthier, brighter smile you can rely on all year long! (10)

 

Another key attribute of not only good oral health but good overall bodily health is hydration. Many people simply forget that they need to stay hydrated, which can cause you to feel tired and lose concentration. Well, it's also dangerous for your oral health, as it can lead to dry mouth and potential oral problems you definitely don’t want next year.

Though not often thought of as an important pre-requisite for good oral health, adequate hydration actually enables you to clean bacteria from your mouth, while also contributing to healthier and fresher breath, as well as a decreased chance of cavities. (11)

And just like there are certain things you should not eat or drink to maintain healthier teeth and stronger oral health, there are certain healthy foods you can try to eat more of next year for an oral care boost. Firm foods like celery, apples, and carrots can help clean your mouth while you eat them. (12)
