New Year, New Dental Routine

New Year, New Dental Routine: 2026 Edition

As we step into 2026, it’s the perfect time to refresh your dental care routine. Even small changes can make a big difference in keeping your smile healthy and bright. Here at Seabreeze Dental, we’re sharing some simple tips to help you upgrade your dental habits this year.

Brush Up on Your Brushing

You’ve been brushing your teeth for years, but are you doing it the right way?
  • Use a soft-bristled brush and replace it every 3–4 months
  • Brush for a full two minutes, twice a day
  • Don’t forget your tongue – it’s a sneaky bacteria hotspot!
  • Consider trying an electric toothbrush. Many models come with timers and pressure sensors to help you brush more effectively.

Floss Like a Boss

Make 2026 the year you finally make flossing a daily habit. Flossing reaches the tricky spots between your teeth that brushing alone can’t. If traditional floss feels tricky, consider floss picks or a water flosser.

Rinse for the Win

Adding an alcohol-free mouthwash to your routine can help reduce plaque, freshen your breath, and reach areas brushing and flossing might miss.

Hydrate for Dental Health

Drinking water throughout the day helps wash away food particles and bacteria. It also supports saliva production, your mouth’s natural defense against tooth decay.

Snack Smarter

Cut back on sugary and acidic snacks, and opt for tooth-friendly options like cheese, nuts, or crunchy vegetables.

Don’t skip your bi-annual dental check-ups. Professional cleanings and early detection of issues are key to maintaining a healthy smile.
