Try and eat healthy snacks as a means of promoting good dental health. If you insist on eating snacks that have sugar in them, make sure that you eat them rather quickly and you brush your teeth right after that. When you do this, you won't get so many cavities.

Brush all of the surfaces of your teeth. Many people think that they only need to clean the surfaces that are visible, but bacteria likes to hide on the hidden parts of teeth. These are the areas where various dental problems can occur. When you brush, make sure to brush the outside, inside, and chewing surfaces of every tooth.

While the common practice and belief is that you should brush your teeth twice a day, an even better habit would be to brush after you eat every meal. After we eat, our mouths are full of food which can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Brushing after meals eliminates this problem.
