It’s officially 2016 and the start of a new year! Take advantage of this fresh start by resolving to take better care of yourself, especially your oral health. At Lowitz & Meier in Cincinnati, Ohio, dentists help hundreds of patients every year improve their oral health and dental care routines. Here are three dentist-approved New Year’s resolutions from the dental pros at Lowitz & Meier:

• Brush and Floss Twice A Day: Your dentist probably reminds you to focus on your at-home dental care all the time. This year, resolve to take their advice and make it a habit to brush and floss twice a day. Your teeth, gums, and breath will thank you for keeping them fresh!
• Schedule Your Next Check-Up: With busy work schedules and other obligations, it’s easy to put off your annual dental check-up. Pick up the phone today and schedule your routine check-up now. You’ll feel better knowing your appointment is on the books. Be sure to make a note of your appointment in your calendar and rearrange your schedule so you don't miss it. 
• Reduce Sugar Intake: Sugary treats are damaging to your teeth, oral health, and the general health of your entire body. This year, commit to living a healthier lifestyle. Reduce your sugar intake and avoid gummy, chewy desserts that have a tendency to stick to your teeth and gums. You’ll see benefits in both your mouth and the overall health of your body.
