The new year is in full swing! Have you started on your resolutions yet? Whether you set a goal to eat healthier, try new foods, or make new friends, it can be difficult to get started. Fortunately, the New Year\u2019s resolution to floss your teeth more often can be broken down so it seems less daunting. Read on for five tips that will help you reach your goal of flossing more to keep your smile healthy<\/a> and bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Start Off Slow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people jump into their New Year\u2019s resolutions headfirst. Though getting to the point may seem like a good method, this often causes people to quickly give up on their goals. Start slow by flossing your teeth a few times per week. Work your way up over time. before you know it, cleaning between your pearly whites will be part of your normal oral hygiene routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Refresh Yourself on the Proper Technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t floss your teeth the right way, you won\u2019t be able to effectively remove plaque and food particles. Watch videos online or look up diagrams that show you the correct way to hold the floss and glide it between your teeth. This will ensure that your teeth are getting as clean as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Use the Right Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People who have mobility issues like arthritis may find it difficult to maneuver dental floss between their teeth. Fortunately, products like Waterpiks and other kinds of water flossers can help get rid of plaque and are easier for people with these issues to use. If you choose to floss your teeth the traditional way, there are different flavors, thicknesses, and other factors that may work for some people and not work so well for others. Make sure to pick the dental floss that best fits you so you can clean your teeth as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Remind Yourself to Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consider setting reminders on your phone to remind yourself to floss before you go to bed. You can also put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror or keep your dental floss near your toothbrush so it\u2019s easy to remember to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #5: Make Flossing Convenient<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though flossing before bed is the best option, doing it at all is better than nothing. Make sure flossing is convenient for you by keeping dental floss in your purse, backpack, or car. This will allow you to clean between your pearly whites whenever you have time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
