It can make some changes in your dental health:

1. Don’t eat a lot of sugary foods. Cut down on snacks between meals.

This will help prevent plaque from making acid. It will also reduce the number of times your teeth are exposed to acids.

2. Eat a diet high in calcium.

Calcium helps strengthen tooth surfaces.

3. Drink plenty of water, especially if you take certain medicines.

Some medicines can decrease the amount of saliva your body makes. This may put you at greater risk for tooth decay.

4. Use a toothpaste and mouthwash with fluoride.

Fluoride helps make tooth surfaces harder and stronger.

5. Visit Dr.Nechupadam team at least twice a year.
