Dental plaque, a thin film containing bacteria that forms between the teeth and gums is the major cause of tooth problems.
To remove plaque teeth must be brushed for atleast five minutes morning or night.
Do not put water on the brush; the saliva in your mouth provides all the moisture needed. Too much paste or water only hamper the process of cleaning.
Floss once before going to bed.
Clean your mouth with water everytime after you eat anything Cut down on sweets and carbohydrates.
Dental check up once in 6 months is a must.
Consult a doctor in case of bleeding gums, fever with toothache may be suggestive of infection Avoid excessive hot, cold and acidic drinks as these aggravate pain.
