Good dental care is the best way to keep your mouth healthy.

• Cut down on acidic drinks and foods. When you do have something with acid, have it at meal times to make it easier on your enamel.
• Rinse your mouth with water right after you eat or drink acidic things.
• Use a straw for sodas and fruit juices so they bypass the teeth.
• Finish a meal with a glass of milk or a piece of cheese. This will cancel out acids.
• Chew sugar-free gum. They also helps you make more saliva, which strengthens your teeth with key minerals.
• Drink more water during the day if you have dry mouth.
• Wait at least an hour to brush after you’ve had acidic foods or drinks.
• Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash.
• Get treatment for conditions like bulimia, alcoholism, or GERD.
