1. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque - the sticky film on your teeth. Plaque is the "culprit" that causes cavities.
2. Floss your teeth every day, so that you can remove the plaque from the teeth between the teeth and the gum line before the plaque is hardened. Once the tartar has formed, it can only be removed by professional cleaning.
Limit the intake of sugar or starchy foods, especially sticky snacks. The more you snack between meals, the more acidic material you have in your dental plaque, the more chances you have of tooth enamel.
4. Visit the dentist regularly and conduct professional oral cleaning and inspection.
