1. Brush Twice Daily with the Right Technique
Use a soft-bristled brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Brush for 2 full minutes in circular motions. Replace your brush every 3 months.
2. Floss Every Day
Flossing removes plaque and food from between teeth where brushes cannot reach. Do it before brushing for best results.
3. Use Fluoride Toothpaste
Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and prevents cavities. Make sure your toothpaste contains at least 1000 ppm fluoride.
4. Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods
Sugar feeds bacteria that produce acid and destroy enamel. Acidic foods like citrus and vinegar weaken enamel directly.
5. Drink More Water
Water washes away food particles and acid. Drinking water after meals is one of the simplest ways to protect your teeth.
6. Visit Your Dentist Every 6 Months
Professional cleanings remove tartar that brushing cannot. Regular checkups catch cavities and gum disease early.
7. Do Not Smoke or Use Tobacco
Tobacco causes gum disease, tooth loss, bad breath, and significantly increases the risk of oral cancer.
