4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water helps maintain saliva flow. Saliva naturally helps wash away food particles and supports the mouth’s normal defenses.
Choose plain water more often than sugary drinks. Frequent exposure to sugary beverages can contribute to plaque-related dental problems and tooth decay.
5. Limit Added Sugar
Plaque bacteria can use sugars from foods and drinks, contributing to an environment that promotes tooth decay and poor oral health.
