Brush your teeth twice a day - This will help to remove any plaque and bacteria from your teeth, providing protection against tooth decay and erosion. However, make sure you don’t brush your teeth too vigorously, as this can lead to damage in itself. If you have eaten something particularly sugary or high in acidity, then you should choose to brush your teeth afterwards.

Floss your teeth every day - You should floss your teeth at least once a day. This will help to remove bits of food and any bacteria that get caught up in the gaps between your teeth. If you floss only once a day then it is advised that you do so before going to bed. It would also be beneficial if you floss after each meal.

Plaque will likely still be in place, as may little bits of food. One should take one's time when brushing your teeth and ensure that each tooth is given sufficient time and care.
