Cleaning your teeth is extremely important.

Most dentist have a dental hygienist who is an expert in cleaning teeth. That person can help teach you the best way to clean your teeth.

Brush three times a day, floss three times a day, use a chewing gum that has a sugar called xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar that kills the bacteria that causes cavities. Trident, Eclipse, Ice Cubes, Epic, Spry, Xylitol are some brands you should consider!
