Regular tooth brushing and flossing include using a fluoride-containing toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice daily, preferably more often. Additionally, use dental floss every day to get rid of plaque and food scraps from your teeth's gaps and along the gum line.

Keep a balanced diet; 

avoid overindulging in sweet and acidic foods and beverages, which can cause tooth decay. For healthy teeth and gums, go for a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products.

Go to the dentist frequently: 

Schedule regular dental cleanings and examinations every six months or as your dentist advises. Dental specialists can spot any early-stage oral health problems and offer the required treatments or preventive care.

Limit your alcohol intake and don't smoke:

Use of tobacco products, including smoking and chewing, can result in a number of oral health issues, including gum disease and oral cancer. Additionally, consuming too much alcohol can harm your oral health. It's advisable to steer clear of tobacco completely and use alcohol sparingly.


Wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth when engaging in physical activity if you play contact sports or engage in other activities that carry a risk of tooth harm. The best protection is provided by custom-fit mouthguards, which are available from your dentist.


A healthy smile may be maintained and oral health issues can be avoided with appropriate oral hygiene habits and regular dental care.
