How to Protect Your Teeth in Daily Life

Looking after your teeth every day is the best way to avoid dental problems. Here are simple yet effective habits to protect your smile:

• Brush Twice a Day: Use a fluoride toothpaste and brush for two minutes each time.
  

• Floss Daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth where brushes can’t reach.
  

• Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods: Soft drinks and sugary snacks increase your risk of decay.
  

• Drink Plenty of Water: Water helps wash away food particles and keeps your mouth hydrated.
  

• Avoid Using Teeth as Tools: Don’t open packages or bite nails with your teeth — it can lead to chips or cracks.

• Wear a Mouthguard: If you play contact sports, a custom mouthguard protects against injury.
  

Consistency is key. With just a few mindful habits, you can keep your teeth strong and healthy every day.
