When you want to eat something between meals, try to avoid sugary snacks. These will
just leave your teeth open to cavities and decay. Instead, have fruit or vegetables, or even
whole grain carbohydrates. These are better for your overall health as well as your dental
situation, but don't forget to brush after!
The first mistake that people make in dental care is to buy the wrong toothbrush. You
should choose a toothbrush that fits well in your mouth and reaches all areas. Your
toothbrush should also fit well in your hand. If you lose your grip on your toothbrush,
you could actually injure yourself.
Keep your toothbrush clean! You are brushing to remove bacteria after all. If you don't
clean your brush head after every brushing, you'll be recontaminating your mouth with
each use. Wash out the brush head every time you use it. Simply place it under the water
faucet and completely rinse out the bristles.

An electric toothbrush is a great thing to have. An electric toothbrush is able to perform
between 3 and 7 thousand strokes every minute, while brushing by hand does at most
300 per minute. So electric toothbrushes can help you get more brushing done in a shirt
time.
If you're a smoker, it's time to quit for your dental care! Smoking is one of the worst
things that you can do for the health of your mouth. Not only does it stain teeth and hurt
your gums, it also puts you in jeopardy of oral cancer. You owe it to yourself to quit.
