- Reduce the amount of sugar in your diet.
- Identify bad oral health habits (such as chewing your fingernails) and break them.
- Do not use your teeth as tools to open packages.
- Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth regularly.
- Always wear a mouthguard when participating in any sort of athletic activity.
- Visit our office at least two times a year so that we can clean your teeth and check for dental problems while they’re still small.
