10 tips for looking after your teeth

Here are some tips to help you maintain your teeth for longer:

1. Brush your teeth—minimum—twice a day
2. Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride
3. Brush for at least 2.5 minutes
4. Floss every day, at least once a day
5. Keep acidic drinks to a minimum—always drink water after soft drink, juice, and wine to minimise their affect.
6. Keep sugary foods to a minimum
7. If you play any sort of sports wear a mouthguard
8. Save a knocked out tooth: it is possible to reattach a knocked out tooth
9. Avoid using your teeth as a bottle opener
