What is the best way to take care of my teeth as an adult?<\/p>\n
Adults can have cavities and gum disease that can develop into serious problems. That is why it is important to respect these suggestions:<\/p>\n
Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste to remove bacterial plaque.
\nFloss daily to remove plaque deposited between the teeth and under the gum, and prevent it from hardening and turning into tartar. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by professional cleaning.
\nLimit consumption of starches and sugars, especially sticky foods. The more often you eat between meals, the more opportunities plaque acids have to attack your tooth enamel.
\nVisit your dentist regularly for routine checkups and professional cleanings.
