Mindful of daily habits

• Don’t go to bed without brushing your teeth: Brushing before bed and in the morning can help you to get rid of the germs and avoid any plaque while leaving the bad smell accumulated throughout the day from the mouth.
• Don’t neglect your tongue: Tongue is one such important part of the mouth that we often neglect and not cleaning the tongue can lead to mouth odour and various other mouth problems. 
• Teeth flossing as important as brushing: Teeth flossing at one time in a day is extremely important and it is considered as a significant way to clean the gums, diminish plaque, and comfort any inflammation in the area.
• Always use a mouthwash: Mouthwash has gained much momentum in the recent past. And why not! They have various benefits to our oral health. Mouthwash decreases the acid amount in our mouth while giving a perfect finishing to the teeth.
• Limit sugary and acidic foods: Sugary substances make harmful acids in the mouth which further tear down the enamel of your teeth and leads to cavities. Be mindful towards choosing such foods.
