Voted one of Indianapolis’ best dentists by Indianapolis Monthly Magazine for five consecutive years, Dr. Tracey Tabor Williams possesses more than a decade of experience providing general dentistry services. Dr. Tracey Williams treats patients of all ages at her dental office and ensures that, from childhood, patients and their parents understand the proper process for maintaining healthy teeth. Brushing and flossing regularly are among the most important practices for keeping teeth strong and in good condition from a young age. To further prevent tooth decay and cavities, parents should also teach their children about these good oral hygiene tips. 1. Regular rinsing with an antibacterial solution reduces gum problems and lessens the potential of tooth decay. 2. After a meal, chewing sugar-free gum encourages the production of saliva, which helps eliminate bacteria and neutral acid in the mouth. 3. To preserve teeth, consuming no more than four ounces of 100 percent fruit juice per day is recommended. For all other sugar-based beverages, it is best to only allow sparing consumption. 4. After enjoying a snack, always drink water to wash away remaining food in the mouth so it does not get stuck to teeth. 5. For the best cleaning, toothbrushes should be replaced when they show signs of wear, such as frayed and worn bristles. 6. A healthy diet of whole foods, like dairy products, grains, and vegetables, provides essential nutrients for keeping teeth strong. Comments are closed.
