Crispy, crunch snacks such as apples, carrots and celery are not only a healthy top up between meals, but also help to clean teeth as you eat them. 

Try and eat these at the end of a meal if you know you won’t be able to brush your teeth. There is no need of tooth brushing after eating these kind of fibrous food.


While exposure to acidic foods, such as lemons, doesn’t directly cause cavities, it weakens the enamel on your teeth, which can weaken teeth and make them more prone to decay.

BREASTFEEDING help proper dental and jaw development.
Suckling at the breast is good for a baby's tooth and jaw development. Babies at the breast have to use as much as 60 times more energy to get food than do those drinking from a bottle...As muscles are exercised in suckling, their constant pulling encourages the growth of well-formed jaws and straight, healthy teeth.
Among breastfed infants, the longer the duration of nursing the lower the incidents of malocclusion.
The bio availability for absorption of calcium and phosphorus ions more in breast milk than bottle milk, make more strong and healthy teeth.

Having a dental check-up is crucial to preventive dental care. Many dental problems start small, but rapidly grow into a much larger dental problem, making dental expenses higher for you.

It is recommended by dentists to have a dental check-up every six monthly. Having a dental check up six monthly can prevent dental problems from even starting. And if dental problems do exist, it is best to catch and treat the problem before it advances into a more serious and costly condition.

Regular dental exams and checkups can prevent and/or diagnose:

• Plaque and tartar build up
• Gingivitis
• Gum disease (periodontal disease)
• Tooth decay
• Cavities
• Failed dental restorations
• Malocclusion
• Root canal therapy
• Tooth loss
• Oral Cancer
