Prophylactic oral care is the best way to reduce the risk of tooth decay (conventional and root cavity). This means brushing your teeth after each meal, especially if you eat carbohydrates such as bread or potatoes. If you can't remember your teeth, try using reminder notes.
The most important time before brushing your teeth is before going to bed so that you can clean the food, plaque and bacteria accumulated on the teeth during the day.
If you think your mouth is dry, consider drinking more water or sucking sugar-free hard candy. Avoid using candy regularly: Sugar makes you more likely to get cavities and also makes existing molars bigger. If dry mouth is still a common problem, talk to your dentist or doctor.
