Flossing – flossing should be part of your daily routine too. There are parts of your teeth that your toothbrush cannot clean anymore especially the tiny spaces between your teeth. Flossing is the one that can help remove whatever is stuck in there so they do not cause decay and cavities. You can consult your dentists for his recommended type of floss that is appropriate for your use.
Eat a nutritious diet – the food you eat and beverages you drink can also make or break the condition of your teeth and gums which is why it is important that you have to watch whatever comes into your mouth. You should be eating foods that are high in calcium and that are rich with vitamins and minerals. And stay away from too much sweets and starchy foods.
Visit your dentist regularly – To ensure that you stay on top of your oral health, you have to take a trip to your dentist at least once in every six months or twice a year.

This is how you and your dentist ensure that your oral health is in good condition and that you do not have any oral problems such as gum problems, cavities, tooth decay and bad breath.
