How?
- Brush everyday, especially after meals.
- Invest at least 2-3 minutes on brushing.
- Floss everyday.
- Clean your tongue everyday.
- Rinse your mouth after consuming anything.
- Change your toothbrush the moment it appears tattered. If it does not and you have been using it for three months, it’s time to change your brush.
- Pay attention to your diet. Consume calcium, fluoride, vitamin C and vitamin D through the food you eat.
- Cut down on smoking.
- Don’t treat your teeth like tools. Stop using your teeth for opening containers.
- Cut down on sugary foods.
- Do not brush immediately after meals. Brush at least after an hour of eating anything.
