If the title of this post has surprised you, let me mention that all of us are slowing treading the path leading to tooth decay. So, I thought, why not give you collated information to help you speed up the process.

• Smoke everyday. If you are smoking ten a day, you are almost there.
• Drink lots of coffee throughout the day.
• Drink sweetened drinks like tea, coffee, and aerated drinks throughout the day.
• Eat lots of sugary and starchy foods. Bacteria feed on the sugar in your mouth, producing lactic acids.
• Consume a lot of starchy carbohydrates and sweet food between meals. Help bacteria flourish by giving them food. The acids they produce erode the calcium in your teeth.
• Do not brush even two times a day. Why clean the mouth when there is no apparent problem.
• Do not floss everyday. Let traces of food stay between your teeth. The bacteria need food too!
• Do not brush before going to bed after your last meal. Let bacteria flourish while you are in deep sleep.
• Do not rinse your mouth after eating. Why take pains to clean your mouth when there is no apparent need!
• Ignore any toothache you encounter. Toothaches subside with time. Why take pains to visit a dentist!
• Do not use fluoride-based toothpaste or drink fluoride mixed water.
• Do not brush after meals. Why do they make such a fuss about brushing after meals?
• Do not drink water after consuming sweetened drinks. My thirst is quenched. Why do I need water?

I was just kidding!
For the ones who take the advice on this blog seriously, let me tell you that we were kidding. We do not want your teeth to decay. In fact, we advise you to do exactly the opposite of what is stated above if you want strong and sparkling teeth. Visit your dentist immediately in case of toothache or any other problem.

Happy smiling!
