-Dark-colored drinks will stain your teeth.
-Eating sweet treats with your meal or right after is best.
-It’s important to finish off your tooth-cleaning routine by brushing your tongue.
-Keeping your tongue up on the roof of your mouth helps you breathe through your nose which in turn helps keep your teeth healthy.
-Ensure you’re flossing your teeth with traditional floss picks or water flossers.
