Oral health is often overlooked until it's too late. Here are some simple tips to avoid getting teeth and gum problems.

Avoid Carbonated drinks

Carbonated drinks are full of sugars and do not have any nutritional value. Sugars convert into acids and cause dental plaque.

Brush Teeth Twice

This is what we have been hearing since our childhood but rarely do we follow this advice. It is important to brush your teeth at night.

Floss

Brushing your teeth isn't enough as the bristles can't clean between the teeth. Flossing after eating food is essential to ward off the risk of cavities.

Fluoride Mouth Rinse

Fluoride helps in remineralising teeth enamel and strengthening the gums. Use it once a day to swish around your mouth.

Avoid Chewing Gums

Chewing gums create a sugary environment in your mouth and increase the chances of plague and tartar.

Conclusion

It is also important to get regular check-ups with a dentist to rule out any underlying oral issues.
