<div id="topic-summary" class="syndicate"><p>It's important to take care of your mouth and teeth starting in <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/childdentalhealth.html">childhood</a>. If you don't, you could have problems with your <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/toothdisorders.html">teeth</a> and <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/gumdisease.html">gums</a> - like <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/toothdecay.html">cavities</a> or even tooth loss. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Here's how to keep your mouth and teeth healthy:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste</li>
|
||
<li>Clean between your teeth every day with floss or another type of between-the-teeth cleaner</li>
|
||
<li>Snack smart - limit sugary snacks</li>
|
||
<li>Don't smoke or chew tobacco</li>
|
||
<li>See your dentist or oral health professional regularly</li>
