To protect your teeth, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day, in the morning and evening, for about 3 to 5 minutes each time. Rinse your mouth promptly after meals. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet is essential for dental health—try to avoid snacking frequently and eating overly hard foods, and refrain from drinking too many beverages, especially sugary drinks. Furthermore, regular dental check-ups are necessary, and timely professional teeth cleaning can also help protect your teeth.
