• Brush at least twice a day For better dental
  care we have to brush on regular basis twice in a
  day. In night the best time to brush teeth is
  after meals. Prefer a toothbrush with a small
  head for superior access to back teeth. Soft
  bristles are kinder on your gums.
• Use fluoridated toothpaste. Fluoride helps to
  harden tooth coating and decrease your risk of
  tooth decay or cavity.
• Brush thoroughly When you brush your teeth then
  should take between two and three minutes.

• Floss your teeth daily Use floss a slow and
  gentle sawing motion.
• Avoid acidic drinks like soft drinks and fruit
  juices Food acids can make your tooth material
  soften and weak and melt the minerals in tooth
  enamel, causing cavities or caries.
• Avoid sugary foods Sugar is the most harmful for

  into acids.

  chewing food If you use your teeth to crack
  nuts, remove bottle caps or rip open packaging
