Cut down on sugary foods
Sugar helps feed the bacteria in your mouth, contributing to the development of plaque. Because of this, aim to limit your consumption of sugary foods like candies, cakes, and carbonated beverages.
Pay regular visits to a dentist
Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque can still accumulate on your teeth. Because of this, see a dentist for routine teeth cleanings. For most people, this means going to the dentist every 6 months.
It’s also important to see a dentist if you notice any concerning symptoms related to your teeth or gums. A dentist can help figure out what may be causing them and recommend treatment before they get worse.
