• Everyone deserves healthy teeth and gums. Thats

  health.

1. BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE A DAY

• Keep up a routine of brushing your teeth twice a
  day and youre halfway there!
• You can also encourage better family dental
  health by encouraging your children to brush
  twice a day too.
• Choose a fluoride toothpaste and brush for 2
  minutes each session to gain maximum benefit.

2. CHOOSE LESS SUGARY SNACKS

• All of us are tempted occasionally by that sugary
  doughnut or cookie. But try to get into the habit
  of choosing less sugary snacks as your default.
• Sugar is the leading cause of tooth decay the
  less you consume, the better.
• Instead, reach for food for healthy teeth and
  gums like fruit, nuts and raw veggies. You should
  also opt for plain water instead of sugar-loaded
  soft drinks.

3. REDUCE ACIDIC FOOD AND DRINKS

• You already know that sugar is bad for you, but
  did you also know that acidic food and drinks can
  also harm teeth?
• Acid causes dental erosion when the top layer of
  your teeth (the enamel) is worn away and it
  cant be replaced.
• Cut down on acidic food and drinks like
  chocolate, cheese and orange juice, and opt for
  healthy alkaline snacks like watermelon, grapes
  and almonds instead.

4. FLOSS OR USE INTERDENTAL BRUSHES

• If you dont already floss, its never too late
  to start!
• Because your toothbrush cant reach every nook
  and cranny, its essential to use floss or
  interdental brushes as well to ensure that plaque
  and food debris are removed. This means that you
  reduce the chances of tooth decay and gum disease
  and can enjoy a healthier mouth and smile.

5. VISIT YOUR DENTIST REGULARLY

• Last but not least, be sure to visit your dentist
  regularly. For most people, this means a check-up
  once every six months.
• This will help you maintain your oral health and
  enable your dentist to spot any issues before
  they turn into problems.
• And even if you havent visited your dentist for
  a while, they wont mind theyll just be happy
  that you called by to say hello!
