My top 10 tips on HOW TO NOT GET CAVITIES! (Especially important when you have braces!)

‼️Keeping the fluoride in contact with your teeth is crucial to remineralizing weakened enamel.

😊 Remember we’re using fluoride as a topical (like lotion). You wouldn’t swallow lotion right? So don’t swallow toothpaste! Fluoride toxicity is only a concern IF swallowed.
This is why I advocate for rinsing out after brushing! (Not to mention surfactants too.)

✨Use toothpaste that’s less spicy/minty! I prefer using milder flavored toothpastes like so I can hold it in my mouth for longer.

💦 Rinsing your mouth out with water after you eat is helpful to prevent cavities!

✨My own secret hack: I like to rinse out my mouth every time I wash my hands.
This helps balance out the pH of my mouth to prevent cavities!

😉 Floss before or after brushing? Just floss!
I prefer flossing after brushing and following up with mouthwash.
I do this to reduce bacteria 🦠 traveling into my bloodstream if my gums bleed.
