Well, 1.brush whenever you eat something, atleast twice a day. 2.the toothbrush you use, rinse it in hot water or mouthwash solution once a week and keep it covered after washing. 3.use chlorhexidine mouth wash after brushing, preferably twice a day 4. Drink adequate water throughout the day 5. You can chew cloves/mint if you're outside. Did you know? Good oral hygiene can save you from heart disease! thank you.
