Smart Habits to Protect Your Teeth
Step 1: Brush Properly (Twice a Day)
Use a fluoride toothpaste
Brush for 2 full minutes
Focus on:
Back teeth (where cavities often start)
Gum line
Tongue (for bacteria)
Don’t rush—technique matters more than force.

Step 2: Floss Daily
Floss at least once per day
Gently slide between each tooth
Curve the floss around the tooth to remove hidden plaque
This removes what your toothbrush can’t reach.
Step 3: Rinse (Optional but Helpful)
Use an antibacterial mouthwash
Or rinse with warm salt water occasionally
Helps reduce bacteria and inflammation.

Step 4: Watch Your Diet
Limit:
Sugary snacks
Soda and acidic drinks
Add more:
Crunchy fruits (like apples)
Vegetables
Dairy (supports enamel)
Step 5: Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water
Helps wash away food particles and bacteria
Step 6: Don’t Ignore Early Signs
Watch for:
Sensitivity
Pain
Dark spots
Early treatment = smaller problem
Step 7: Still See a Dentist Regularly
Even with perfect care:
Get checkups every 6 months
Professional cleaning prevents buildup
Prevention doesn’t mean avoidance—it means fewer serious issues

The image suggests salt can fix cavities.
Salt cannot repair tooth decay
It may help with temporary gum comfort, but not damage repair
