Incorporate tooth-friendly foods like crunchy fruits and veggies that naturally clean your teeth. Also, incorporate items rich in calcium like cheese to strengthen your enamel.
Another thing to consider is minimizing sugary snacks and acidic beverages. We all love our cookies, candy, and Dr. Pepper, but they contribute greatly to ongoing tooth decay.
