Dental Insurance Plus, Do Your Part in Keeping Your Teeth Healthy
Your part start at home by having good dental care habits you help your teeth last longer. Brush for a full 2 minutes, twice each day with a soft-bristle manual or electric toothbrush, and floss before bed. Drink tooth-friendly beverages, including plain water. (Soda and drinks with lemon and lime can erode enamel and weaken teeth.) Increase your production of saliva, which helps protect teeth, with sugar-free hard candy and gum. Avoid sugary food and drinks. See a dentist once each year—more often if you have periodontal disease or are still getting cavities
