A beautiful smile can lift the mood of those around you and your self-confidence. Take care of your teeth and gums by following simple tips.
Steps
1 Visit your dentist regularly (every 6-8 months).
2 Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes to remove plaque.
3 Don't drink a lot of carbonated drinks, they destroy enamel and cause tooth decay. It is better to drink plain water or tea. 
4 Chew dentist-recommended chewing gum if you are unable to brush your teeth.
5 Use a mouthwash to help prevent gingivitis and plaque build-up and to freshen your breath. You can also rinse your mouth with warm salt water. 
6 Do not smoke. This can cause cancer of the tongue or mouth.
