• Always brush your teeth twice a day:It is essential to brush one’s teeth daily to avoid infections.it is recommended to brush twice a day,but as a human ,we find it difficult to do so as it is advised to brush morning and night,but we al find it hard to brush at night including myself.

• Avoid smoking,cigarettes and other product relating to it:smoking affects the gum in the teeth which leads to disease and can endanger our health.

• Eating balanced diet and avoiding foods that stick to our teeth: some foods or snacks like chocolates ,chew gum,sweets etc ,affect our teeth and may make us have tooth decay and other type of infections .it is best to have balanced diet food and avoid intake of too much sugary stuffs.

I personally,I do eat charcoal once in a while because it said to make the teeth strong.
I don’t usually use chewing stick because I find it hard to use.The day my mum gave me to use ,I couldn’t even chew it for 2 minutes and I went to pick my tooth brush.
Using toothbrush and toothpaste with some dental health products that helps one’s teeth to be strong like mouthwash and the rest.

I wouldn’t really say it’s a problem but I have tooth pain when I take Ice and too much cold drinks or sugary stuff.
I will say to everyone to try keep a good dental health and avoid all things that can cause us to have tooth decay or any kind of tooth infections like brushing our teeth twice a day,eating balanced food and the likes.

In conclusion Our teeth is a vital part of our daily life and it has to be taken care of daily to avoid infections and diseases.We shouldn’t ignore our oral health care routines nor be ignorant about it.
