It is useless to postpone, pretend not to remember or postpone: every 6 months a check-up by the dentist is a must. If you want to be even safer, ask for an X-ray of the teeth with the bite-wing technique; the teeth a "wing, which allows to find even the caries in formation.
2 - Take care of your diet
Like? Avoiding too many sweets (sugars turn into acids and attack the enamel) and limiting alcohol. In fact, alcohol favors tumors of the oral cavity.
3 - Hygiene
Brush your teeth at least twice a day - for at least 5 minutes each time - best after breakfast in the morning and in the evening after dinner. Also remember that the teeth are brushed from pink to white, that is, from gum to tooth, and not to horizontal brushing. As for toothpaste, choose one that is specific if you have, for example, sensitive gums, damaged enamel or a tendency to develop tooth decay.
4 - Valuable allies
After brushing your teeth, don't forget two essential allies for maintaining healthy teeth and gums: mouthwash and brush. The first antiseptic, anti-plaque and enriched with fluoride, kills bacteria, the second, moving it back and forth in the interdental space, removes plaque even from the most difficult to reach surfaces. IMPORTANT: mouthwash and brushes do not replace toothbrush and toothpaste, but complete their action.
5 - Change your toothbrush often
It is the most important tool for the prevention of caries, because it mechanically removes food residues and bacterial plaque. To be effective it must have very specific characteristics: straight handle, a small head to easily reach every part of the mouth and quite soft and rounded artificial bristles at the tip. As soon as it loses these characteristics, and in any case no later than three to four months, the toothbrush must be changed. With use, in fact, it wears out and deforms.
