As the weather warms up and we declutter our homes, don’t forget—spring is also the perfect time to refresh your oral health routine. At Sekhon Dental in Agoura Hills, we believe your smile deserves just as much attention as your wardrobe or garage!
Here are 7 simple, Dr. Sekhon-recommended ways to give your mouth the seasonal clean-up it deserves:
1. 🪥 Replace Your Toothbrush
Did you know your toothbrush should be replaced every 3 to 4 months? Over time, bristles wear down and become less effective at removing plaque. Plus, spring is prime time to clear out old germs from winter colds and flu.
Pro tip: Consider switching to an electric toothbrush for a deeper clean.
2. 📅 Book Your Dental Cleaning
Professional cleanings go far beyond what you can do at home. We remove hardened tartar, polish your teeth, and screen for early signs of cavities or gum disease.
Haven’t been in a while? Spring is a great excuse to get back on track. Schedule your appointment with Sekhon Dental today.
3. 🧼 Recommit to Flossing
Flossing isn’t just for getting food out—it prevents gum disease, bad breath, and even heart disease by reducing inflammation. If you’ve fallen out of the habit, now’s the time to recommit.
Quick tip: Keep floss visible on your sink or use floss picks for convenience. At Sekhon Dental – Dentist Agoura Hills, we recommend Proclaim – the future of flossing in less than 7 seconds.
4. 🍓 Refresh Your Diet for Healthier Teeth
Swap sugary snacks for crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and celery. These naturally clean your teeth and stimulate your gums.
Also, limit acidic drinks like soda and citrus juice—they wear down enamel and increase sensitivity.
5. 😁 Do a Smile Self-Check
Take a moment in the mirror:
-
Any new sensitivity?
-
Bleeding gums?
-
Discoloration or visible buildup?
If you notice anything unusual, it’s worth getting checked out early. Many dental problems are easier (and cheaper) to fix when caught early.
6. ✨ Consider Whitening for a Brighter Smile
Planning a spring wedding, graduation, or family photo session? Professional teeth whitening is safe, fast, and more effective than drugstore options. Ask us about in-office and take-home whitening kits!
7. 💧 Stay Hydrated for Better Oral Health
Drinking plenty of water helps rinse away food particles, balance pH, and keeps saliva flowing—which protects your teeth from decay.
Pro tip: Choose water over sports drinks or flavored waters that often contain hidden sugars.
