You are probably quite informed on the details of dental hygiene. You know how to practice it correctly and you know a lot about the hygiene-related diseases that can occur, the damage that may ensue, and how this will affect your long-term oral health. However, do you ever give much thought to the simpler details connected to daily smile care? If not, consider some very practical reasons you should be brushing and flossing!

Reason #1: It’s Easy

It really doesn’t get much easier than brushing your teeth two times every day for two-minute sessions (that’s just four minutes of your whole day). Add a flossing session into the mix and that’s literally all it takes.

Reason #2: It Can Save You Money

Hands down the easiest way to save money when it comes to your oral health is practicing dental hygiene on a daily basis. By putting a few dollars into hygiene products here and there, you can save yourself hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Why? Your teeth will remain healthy, so you won’t need complicated, costly repairs to quickly rescue you.

Reason #3: The Results Feel Good

If you have ever gone a while without brushing or flossing your teeth – even just a single day – you know that your teeth start to feel gross. To be more specific, patients often associate lax dental hygiene with teeth that feel grimy, slimy, or sort of rough. This means that your teeth probably don’t look too beautiful either, which leaves you feeling a bit emotionally dissatisfied, as well. Brush and floss, so your teeth (and your emotions) feel good.
