Tips
– Brush your teeth twice a day. It is important that you do this properly, otherwise it will have no effect.
– Also use toothpicks, brushes or floss and mouthwash.

– Try to eat/drink as little sugar as possible and limit the number of eating moments where your teeth are exposed to sugar.

Before it's too late… Cavities do not appear overnight. It all starts with the bacteria in dental plaque. Between brushings, bad bacteria multiply with sugar. Sugar acids are created that can affect your enamel. In the initial stage, you can still prevent the development of caries. That is why it is so important to take good care of your teeth.
