Tips to prevent tooth infection

There are a number of ways to prevent a tooth infection and these include:

1. Brush your teeth properly twice a day, and if possible after meals
2. Floss your teeth daily to eliminate plaque buildup
3. Make sure that you use a toothpaste containing fluoride
4. Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride to help fight gum disease and prevents plaque build up
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
7. Replace toothbrushes every three months because new toothbrushes remove plaque more easily than used ones
8. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet that consists of fruit and vegetables
9. Limit your intake of sugary foods and snacks
10. Stop smoking as it destroys gum tissue, causes tartar formation and bone loss
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.
