Essential tips for dental care Taking care of your teeth is important and necessary not only for your oral health but also for your own health. Have healthy teeth and a beautiful smile by following the hygiene tips. ### 1- Use dental floss and toothbrush twice a day. It is better to take care of your teeth instead of flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day. The best time to brush your teeth is after eating, when you should also floss your teeth. Do this for at least 2 minutes, making sure to thoroughly clean the entire surface of the water. Drinking water is essential for health and dental care, and it also produces saliva, which is important for healthy teeth. Drinking water is much better than hot and sweet drinks. Over time, bacteria feed on the sweets on the teeth, which causes the formation of dental plaque, which, if you don't think about it, will cause your teeth to disappear. ### 3- Avoid eating sweet foods. Sugar is not only in drinks such as soft drinks, fruit juice, etc., but also in the foods you eat. It is better to try to avoid eating sweet foods and candies, or if you consume a lot of sugar, be sure to brush your teeth after eating because sweet substances increase plaque or decay in your teeth. The most important thing for having strong teeth and bones is regular consumption of calcium. You can choose a good source of calcium such as dairy, protein or vegetables. Even the sunlight is considered a very good source of absorbing vitamin D, so it is not bad to walk in the sunlight for a few minutes while walking. ### 5- Visit the dentist every 6 months. Dentists can examine your teeth well and if they are damaged, they can be treated immediately to prevent further damage.
