Brushing your teeth twice a day not only keeps your breath sweet, but also helps rid the mouth of bacteria that makes up plaque and can lead to oral infections. To brush properly, point bristles at a 45-degree angle against the gums. Use gentle back-and-forth strokes all over your teeth -- in front, in back, and on chewing surfaces -- for two minutes. If holding a toothbrush is hard for you, try an electric toothbrush. Also brush your gums and tongue.
Xylitol is now the preferred sweetener approved by dentists and endorsed by dental associations in seven European countries. It is a naturally occurring substance produced by our own bodies and found in fruits and vegetables. Not only is it effective in preventing tooth decay, it is also effective in combating tooth decay from consuming foods high in sugar and starch. Xylitol is often used in chewing gum, candy, and dental products such as toothpaste and mouthwash. It has also been proven to help those suffering from allergies and is used in a nasal spray.
