Strong tooth enamel is essential for maintaining healthy teeth. Preserving your dental health begins with a consistent daily oral hygiene routine that involves brushing your teeth each morning and night with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. You also need to remember to floss between each of your teeth as well as along the gumline at least once per day.
General inconsistencies in your daily oral hygiene routine can allow for a gradual buildup of oral plaque acids. As it persists this acidic environment can start to demineralize your tooth enamel increasing your chances of suffering from cavities and tooth sensitivity.
