If you want to avoid tooth decay, you need to remove plaque from your smile as consistently as possible. Why? Plaque will harden within 24 hours or a bit longer. At this point, it won’t budge even if you brush as hard as you can. Keep this from happening by brushing gently for two minutes, two times daily.
That plaque will harden between teeth and under your gumline, too. Floss your smile daily to avoid this problem, while preventing decay (and gum disease, too).
It’s true that your brushing and flossing habits contribute significantly to the health of your teeth and the prevention of tooth decay. However, you can’t keep 100 percent of it off of your smile. This is why you need to remain very committed to cleanings (and checkups).
Sugar can increase the likelihood of developing tooth decay. As a result, we say skip it or at least remember to rinse your teeth off afterwards (and then brush).
Water helps neutralize the acids in your mouth, rinses away bacteria, and is good for keeping you hydrated. Reach for it over other options as often as possible.
