You need to brush your teeth twice a day – after breakfast and after dinner. This is the most integral part of the dental hygiene process. You also need to floss daily to prevent periodontal pockets from forming between your teeth. Smoking and your diet can also affect your risk of decay and disease which is why we recommend avoiding sugary foods, acidic foods and we recommend eating calcium-rich foods such as cheese and yoghurt which coat your teeth in a protective film.
