Many people have a misconception that if they can thoroughly brush their teeth clean, they can avoid having tooth decay. In fact, besides brushing teeth thoroughly, a good dietary habit also plays an important role in tooth decay prevention.
– When you feel thirsty, just drink plain water to quench thirst.
– To avoid sensitive teeth caused by acid erosion, you should take less acidic food or beverages such as pickles, dry plums, lemons, sports drink, soft drink, alcoholic drink, etc.
– To avoid tooth fracture, one should avoid biting on hard food such as bones, shells, etc.
– People who wear denture should avoid chewing on hard or sticky food to prevent the denture from dislodging or becoming difficult to clean.
– Parents can use stationeries, stickers, or praisings instead of snacks to reward their children.
