Eat ‘Teeth Cleaning’ Foods: Sounds weird but it is true. Munching on crisp foods like apple, pop-corn or even carrots can clean your teeth naturally. If you would not like brushing post dinner, then munch on these.
Flossing: Before bedtime, make sure to floss your teeth as brush bristles do not reach in some areas inside the mouth.
Limit Soda Beverages/ Coffee: We all might have heard this many times. Limiting these beverages will also help good dental health as these could badly affect your body’s calcium levels.
NO Tobacco & NO Smoking: This habit is injurious to your life and starts at your mouth. It leaves an ugly discoloration on your teeth and makes your mouth dry. So try and avoid smoking tobacco.
Use Mouthwash: Even though you brush your teeth, you may snack in between leaving food particles that feed bacteria. Use a Listerine mouthwash now and then to wash away such bacteria and this also keeps bad mouth smell away.
