Time is the key

Your old toothbrush

Make it a practice to replace the toothbrush every four to five months. A worn-out toothbrush can be harsh to your teeth and it does not clean the way it used to when it was new.

Sugary snacks or sticky candies may remain in your teeth, leading to decay.  Your regular toothbrush cannot reach the gaps. Hence you should make it a practice to daily floss your teeth.

Drink ample water

Water is life. Not only for your body but also for your teeth. It will wash off sugars and other nasties that you eat or drink during Christmas.
