Here are five ways you can improve your dental health for the New Year.

• Brush and Floss Daily
  You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, which is the best way to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Flossing at least once a day will help remove plaque buildup between your teeth and gums. It’s crucial to maintain good oral health since mouth diseases can spread throughout your body. If you neglect cleaning your teeth and gums, it can lead to gingivitis and gum disease.
• Eat Fresh Fruits and Vegetables 
  Fruits and vegetables are a high source of nutrients, antioxidants and fiber, which form the basis of a healthy diet. Not only will fresh produce like apples and carrots clean your teeth and freshen your breath, it will help your immune system fight against bacteria, inflammation and various diseases.
• Keep Alcohol Use Limited
  The Academy of General Dentistry warns that excessive alcohol use increases the changes of gum recession. Too much alcohol can also lead to addiction and overall poor health.
• Avoid Tobacco Products
  The dangers of smoking cigarettes are obvious, even without reading the cancer warning label. People who smoke cigarettes not only damage internal organs, they develop horrid looking stained teeth. By staying away from all tobacco products completely you will be protecting your own health as well as others in your circle.
• Visit Your Dentist Regularly
  Seeing your dentist at least twice a year will help catch dental health issues early. Regular visits amount to record keeping that lets a professional review your dental health progress. These visits will also help prevent problems such as pain, discomfort and expensive treatment.
