The new year is coming! This is the perfect time to think of ways that you can care for your dental health in the new year. As your dentist in Central City, KY, we’d like to play a role in helping you take better care of your teeth. See below, some New Year resolutions for your dental health.

See the Dentist Twice Annually

You should visit the dentist twice per year. If this is not your habit, 2025 is the year to start! Make your first dental appointment with the dentist in the first six months of 2025, then make your second dental appointment of the year in the last six months of 2025.

Seeing the dentist twice annually can help you avoid problems like cavities and gum disease. Your dentist can help you identify problems in their early stages and can treat those problems before they become really serious.

Brush Your Teeth For Two Minutes Each Time

Dental experts recommend brushing your teeth for two minutes each time you brush. Use a timer to ensure that you’re brushing your teeth for long enough.

Consider Getting an Electric Toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. Electric toothbrushes are often better for removing plaque than manual toothbrushes. If you have the money to buy an electric toothbrush, invest in one recommended by your dentist in 2025.

Replace Your Toothbrush Every Three Months

Set an appointment on your calendar to replace your toothbrush (or the toothbrush head) if you have an electric toothbrush) every three months.
