Tip #2: Floss your teeth. Flossing removes debris and food stuck between the teeth. Flossing helps prevent debris stuck between your teeth from turning into plaque. Plaque can leave your teeth more vulnerable to stains from drinks and food.Not flossing regularly can even lead to complex dental issues like gum disease. If you don’t know how to floss or aren’t sure if you are flossing correctly, feel free to ask general dentists, Dr. Mulkey.

Some dentist would recommend avoiding soda, red wine, tea, coffee, sugary foods, and hard, sticky candies. Even citrus based foods can possibly weaken the tooth enamel and leave your teeth susceptible to tooth decay.
