Always brush your teeth with toothpaste that is nationally approved by dentists. And always make sure you floss daily. The problem starts at home. They say that it is difficult to break a bad habit. So why not start a good one instead? Educate your kids on proper dental hygiene and the importance of brushing teeth regularly. Tooth decay is a process that is expedited by negligence of the bacteria that is present in our mouths. While there are good and bad bacteria present remember that certain habits help multiply the bad bacteria. You see, sugar besides being a detest thing for diabetics it is also a big ‘NO!’ for teeth.
One good practice that has been adhered to by most is to brush your teeth after every meal.

Another step in the right direction would be to avoid eating sugar especially at night before hitting the sack. Those evil bacteria will have all the time in the world to play havoc inside your mouth leading to tooth decay.
