There are many ways to show your teeth you care. Like keeping away from fizzy drinks or biting into a fruit instead of drinking its juice. What else do you do? Here’s a list of what all you should do.

• Brush your teeth at least two times a day, preferably after meals. You must brush once before going to the bed. And remember to brush gently. Brush your teeth for at least for 2-3 minutes. You can play your favorite song while you brush.

• Leave a gap of an hour between a meal and brushing. Brushing immediately after a meal leads to teeth erosion as the acids in the food make the teeth vulnerable.
• Floss your teeth once a day. This cleans your teeth thoroughly. And be sure to scrape your tongue gently once a day. Cleaning the teeth is not enough. However, the tongue should not be scraped too hard as it may open the pores for bacteria.
• Make fiber a part of every meal of yours. Go for vegetables and whole fruits. This helps clean your mouth and takes care of your overall health.
• Bite into a carrot or an apple when you feel hungry. They cleanse your mouth along with satisfying that hunger.
• Keep your mouth hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This prevents the formation of bacteria in the mouth.
• Rinse your mouth after you have consumed anything, be it a sip of milk or a biscuit.

So, have you been doing all this? And I hope you do visit the dentist every six months.

Happy smiling!
