Bursting blooms of flowers. Warm sunshine. Buzzing bees. Spring has officially sprung! As nature renews itself, many people do the same to their homes by deep cleaning. However, you don\u2019t just have to limit spring cleaning to just your living space\u2026you can also include your oral health<\/a>. There\u2019s no better time than now to refresh your smile. Here are five easy ways to get your pearly whites ready to shine during spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Replace Your Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your toothbrush looking a bit worn out? If so, may be time to get a new fresh one. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you replace your toothbrush every three to four months. And this is not just some smart marketing tactic from the dental hygiene product industry! When your bristles are frayed on your toothbrush, your teeth are not only being thoroughly cleaned from plaque buildup, but you could be damaging your enamel. Additionally, the rough edges could also increase your chances of gum recession. Time to throw out the old and bring in the new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Clean Your Toothbrush Holder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many things in a household that are so commonly used that they can get overlooked for a deep cleaning. This can include your toothbrush holder! To ensure you aren\u2019t spreading any germs and bacteria to your toothbrush, and then your mouth, be sure to thoroughly clean your toothbrush holder. You can either disinfect it in warm, soapy water or put it in the dishwasher. You will have a sparkly holder for your spring smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Throw Out Products Past Their Expiration Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that dental products have a certain shelf life? Yes, it\u2019s not just the vegetables and containers in your fridge that have an expiration date! Your mouthwash and toothpaste are usable for only a certain amount of time and if you use them past it, they are likely to not be as effective. Take the time to do a spring cleaning on your oral hygiene products for those that are past their prime. You can always replace them with new items you\u2019ve been wanting to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Enhance Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With springtime comes special events like weddings, family reunions, and graduation ceremonies. To look spring-fresh, you can always consider upgrading your smile with cosmetic dental treatments<\/a>. If you have always wanted straighter pearly whites, you may even want to consider Invisalign. These clear, discreet braces discreetly and accurately align your teeth over time. By next spring, you can have a whole new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Schedule a Routine Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to your daily dental hygiene routine, visiting your dentist every six months is essential to maintain healthy and beautiful teeth. Your dentist will professionally clean and polish them, as well as remove any tartar buildup. They\u2019ll also give you a thorough dental exam, which will help detect any issues before they become more serious. You\u2019ll leave your dental office with a fresh, clean smile and ready to enjoy all that spring has to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
