A lot of children and adults face some dental issue or the other, and so may go through a lot of pain during the dental problem phase. Prevention is indeed better than cure and carrying good hygiene is the way to prevent many such issues.

A lot of food that we eat causes the microscopic organisms in the mouth to create acids. Sugary food especially leads to plaque formation. Let us now look at ways on how to maintain Oral Hygiene:

Brush at least twice a day. Make sure you brush before going to bed as it helps you get rid of the germs and plaque that accumulate throughout the day.
