Use a straw
Rinse with water after
Wait 30–60 minutes before brushing
🌿 7. Don’t skip saliva
Dry mouth = higher cavity risk.
Help saliva by:
Chewing sugar-free gum
Staying hydrated
Breathing through your nose (when possible)
🦷 8. Replace your toothbrush regularly
Every 3 months or after illness.
Worn bristles don’t clean well.
😁 9. Don’t ignore your gums
Healthy gums should be:
Pink
Firm
Not bleeding
Bleeding = inflammation, not “normal.”
🩺 10. See a dentist even when nothing hurts
Cavities and gum disease often don’t hurt early.
Regular cleanings prevent expensive problems later.
🌱 Natural doesn’t mean no science
