Dental Care Secrets Many People Don’t Know

Looking after your teeth involves simple procedures that everyone has heard of, brush twice a day and floss. And keep your 6 monthly dental check ups.


However there are other things you can do for a better oral hygiene:
Food and oral hygiene:
Pomegranates: They have an antioxidant that hinders the ability of dental plaque to stick to tooth surface.
Calcium and phosphorus sources: Calcium and Phosphorus protect the enamel of the tooth and make it stronger. You can get these from cheeses, meats, nuts, and milk.
Fruits and Vegetables. Other than the effect of vitamins and fibers they contain, fruits rich in fluid content like apples and melons help wash your teeth and act as neutralizing medium against the acidity in other vegetables like citrus fruits and tomatoes and produced by the dental plaque and causes cavities.
Chewing gum. Gum helps dislodge food particles, and induce salivation which washes your teeth and neutralize acidity. Xylitol gum also helps prevent bacteria from adhering to the tooth surface.

– Use of electric tooth brushes. Electric tooth brushes have come a long way and they are strongly recommended over manual ordinary ones.
– Chew leaves, like mint, lettuce. These tend to neutralize any acids and clean the plaque off.
