So far we've made time for ourselves by making time each day to cleanse and moisturize daily. As busy mamas it is amazing how simple everyday things like showering get forgotten about or put on hold when you have a baby with immediate needs to be meet. It is exactly routines like these that when skipped make us feel under the control of a busy life and not in control of it.
The next "mama time" habit is to clean and floss your teeth twice daily.
I addition to having a bright smile and fresh breath, cleaning your teeth twice daily will prevent gum disease, blood clots, heart attacks and strokes! Research has revealed that bacterial deposits accumulated on teeth due to lack of regular brushing can find their way into the bloodstream. Flossing your teeth prevents cavities and tooth decay in areas where brushing cannot reach.
Here ares some tips:
The two most important brushing times are after breakfast and before bed when bacterial residue is at it's highest
Buy a small headed, soft bristle tooth brush and change every three months.
Brush your teeth for at lest two minutes-use a timer or sing a song with your kids while you brush!See the dentist biannually for a professional cleaning.
When you are away from your toothbrush and want to brush, chew sugarless gum and rinse your mouth with water.
