5. Use a mouthwash after brushing teeth to get rid of plaque and fight infection
6. Invest in an electric toothbrush for effective and thorough plaque removal

11. Protect your teeth and gums from injury when playing sport by wearing a mouth guard
12. Visit your dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and consultation
13. Avoid long term use of certain drugs such as antidepressants, antihistamines or muscle relaxants as they dry out the mouth and can cause tooth decay and gum disease
14. Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate the flow of saliva
15. Home remedies such as gargling or rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can also provide relief.
