Brushing-Teeth

Brushing teeth is an ordeal, blame it on waking up late and feeling lazy to pick up the brush and go for it almost every day. However, if you need a shiny set of 32, you got to make sure that you brush your teeth well and for the right duration. Brush up-down, left-right and reach the back of your teeth as well. You need to do this for at least 2 to 3 minutes and rinse them well. Also, in case you have yellowness in your teeth or a bad breath, brushing twice a day should become your habit.  Also Read - Parasite causing 'explosive diarrhoea' is sickening Americans: Dos and don'ts

Watch Out What You Eat

The foods that you consume play a major role in maintaining your dental health. If you are very fond of acidic drinks, sodas and alcohol, your teeth may suffer as these can cause tooth decay and gum disease, say dentists. Tobacco consumption does not only affect your heart and cause cancer, but it can also make your teeth suffer bad. You should also restrict your sugar consumption as bacteria in dental plague can turn sugar into acid, affecting your teeth severely.
