Tip #1: Brush & floss your teeth without fail

If you care for your teeth as much as you care for your sweet cravings, don’t forget to brush and floss your teeth twice every day. When you consume sugary substances, some components get stuck to your teeth, resulting in increased bacterial count and cavities. Brushing and flossing prevent the piling up of this unwanted debris.

Tips # 2: Refrain from colored food

Artificial colors and preservatives have chemicals that stain tooth enamel. And, if you have poor oral hygiene, over a while these stains can turn permanent.

Tip #3: Choose to eat sweets during meals

Eat sweets only during meals. This is because it prevents the instant rise of glucose levels that deprives the bacteria causing germs of their food and hence, restricts their growth. Moreover, the saliva produced as we eat our food helps to neutralize acid production and reduces the chances of plaque build-up.

Tip #4: Drink plenty of water

Drinking water is one of the easiest ways to keep your mouth clean. It washes away leftover food and residue that cavity-causing bacteria thrive on. It also dilutes the acids produced by the bacteria in your mouth.
