More Tips:-

1. When babies develop teeth, it is important to give them food which can be easily chewed.
2. Do not give babies a bottle containing juice, milk or a formula in bed because it is not good for their teeth. The sugar in the juice and milk if allowed to stay in the mouth for long periods can lead to decay in baby’s small teeth.
3. Eat a balanced diet for good health and select a variety of easily chewable foods.
4. Do not use lemon water to whiten the teeth because vitamin c will cause the teeth to loose calcium, damaging teeth quicker than anything else.
5. Whenever you need to get your teeth bleached, it should be done by a qualified dentist.
6. Drink plenty of water daily.
7. Do not eat all the time. Leave two to three hours between meals and snacks this allows the acid level in the mouth to fall and also gives saliva a chance to counteract the effect of acid and repair the tooth enamel.
8. Try chewing raw vegetables once in a day because they help in cleaning the teeth.
9. Change your toothbrush regularly.
