1. Brush regularly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you brush, you remove the food debris that bacteria feed on, your teeth get cleaned and your breath becomes fresher. Fluoride toothpastes strengthen enamel. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes for this process to be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Floss every day.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Floss reaches the contact surfaces between teeth and removes food debris and bacteria that a toothbrush can’t reach, helping to prevent gum disease. Flossing twice a day is recommended; if you can’t manage twice, be sure to floss before bed. During sleep, less saliva is produced, the teeth can’t clean themselves, and as a result teeth and gums are left unprotected from bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visit your dentist twice a year.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have a professional teeth cleaning. At preventive visits, gum or tooth disease can be detected at an early stage, when treatment is also easier. If you are prone to gum disease or caries, a visit to the dentist every four months is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Eat healthily.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Healthy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eat calcium-rich foods. Calcium helps us keep strong bones and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C in citrus fruits helps keep gums healthy. Sugary foods help bacteria multiply, so if you eat sweets, be sure to brush your teeth soon afterwards; if you can’t at that moment, rinse your mouth with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Don’t smoke!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smokers are four times more likely to develop gum disease than non-smokers (a study by the Journal of Periodontology). Smoking increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, lips, tongue, cheeks and gums. Tobacco use worsens breath and leads to halitosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Whiten your teeth.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you use a whitening product prescribed by your doctor and follow the instructions, your teeth are not at risk of damage. Before you start whitening, consult your dentist and make sure your teeth and gums are healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Use cosmetic procedures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
