Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize SomnoDent device to stop teeth grinding
The SomnoDent device can arrest bruxism (teeth grinding), unlike traditional mouthguards which only provide a cushion.
Limit acidic drinks to protect your teeth
Be mindful that constantly sipping on acidic liquids like lemon water or coffee throughout the day can be bad for your teeth.
Consult your dentist about dry mouth condition
Saliva is critical for maintaining balance in the mouth, so you should check with your dentist if you have a dry mouth condition.
Measure gum pocket depth to assess oral health
Quantify your oral health by measuring gum pocket depth, where 1-3 millimeters is considered good shape.
Choose Dr. Tungs floss for superior plaque removal
Dr. Tungs floss has a thicker string that can reportedly pick up 25% more plaque than smaller strands.
Wait 30 minutes before brushing to protect tooth enamel
Avoid brushing for 30 minutes after eating because your tooth enamel is temporarily softened and more vulnerable.
Implement tongue scraping to enhance oral health
Using a tongue scraper is described as a game-changing practice that will make a very big difference in your oral health.
Use xylitol mouthwash strategically before social contact
Use xylitol mouthwash only in specific circumstances, like before social contact, rather than as a daily routine.
