Using a Straw
If you enjoy drinking acidic drinks like water with lemon, orange juices, or soda, consider using a straw to protect your teeth.
Try Natural Mouthwashes
Mouthwashes made from natural products do not eliminate all bacteria from the mouth but promote good oral hygiene. If you want to make your mouthwash, mix a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and rinse your mouth for a few minutes after brushing. Now, spit it and wash it with lukewarm water.
Stimulate Salivation
Saliva helps eliminate acids that cause cavities, and its mineral content helps strengthen tooth enamel. You can stimulate its production by thoroughly chewing every bite of your food or chewing sugar-free, xylitol-based chewing gum.
Choose the Right Foods
Sugar is bad for the teeth, no longer a surprise, but new studies cited by Mind Body Green highlight the benefits of a balanced diet. Daily dairy products rich in calcium, protein, fruits, vegetables, and nuts help balance sugar levels and maintain good oral health.
Stop Eating 4 Times a Day
Good food hygiene goes hand in hand with good oral health.
Therefore, snacking should be prohibited. Sauces, juices, even light sodas, appetizer cakes, chips, etc. can contain many sugars. These sugars promote acid secretions that demineralize and attack tooth enamel. Not to mention the treats, cakes that should be eaten in moderation. Acidic foods should be avoided, such as citrus fruits and sodas.
