How do you get rid of #plaque? One of the best ways to get rid of plaque is by brushing and cleaning your teeth regularly. Brush your teeth twice per day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your toothbrush should fit your mouth and allow you to reach all areas easily. Use an antimicrobial toothpaste containing fluoride, which helps protect your teeth from decay. Clean between the teeth once a day with floss or interdental cleaners to remove plaque from between the teeth.

How to prevent Bad breath?
How do you prevent bad breath from getting worse? Here are some tips.
1) Clean your tongue: The surface of the tongue is home to a potentially foul-smelling bacteria combined with dead cells. Be sure to brush your tongue with your toothbrush after you finish brushing.
2) Rinse after eating and drinking: Rinsing with water works after meals, no matter what you have eaten. Swishing the water around may help remove some of the food particles left in the mouth after a meal and prevent bad breath from setting in.
3) Eat to smell sweet: Celery, carrots and apples are all good options to munch after a meal because these fiber-packed foods will help remove any food that’s stuck in your teeth. These foods also stimulate saliva, which is detrimental to bacteria.
If bad breath persists even after taking these measures, then make an appointment with us at Acharya Dental to find out the exact cause and treatment.
Eat the right foods for your Oral health!
Did you know that saliva is one of our body’s strongest soldiers battling bacteria? Foods that promote saliva production such as limes, cherries and cranberries, can help your body fight bacteria in your mouth. Drinking water is also another great way to produce saliva that helps clear bacteria and cleanse your oral cavity. Foods that have a high water content also help to thwart the process of decay by diluting the sugars in the foods you consume. In other words, eat your fruits and veggies regularly to clear the bacteria that reside in your mouth.
