Oral health: Brush 2-3 times a day and floss once a day. Go to the dentist at least every 6 months unless instructed to go more frequently. Avoid too much sugar and soda. These are the keys to good oral hygiene.

Brush, floss, diet: Brushing, flossing and diet are the hallmarks of good oral health. Also maintain regular check up appointments to look for cavities, gum disease and oral cancer. Avoid over functioning on teeth, grinding, chewing ice, etc..

Several things to do: First, good overall health- nutritious diet, rest, etc. Specifically- proper tooth brushing and flossing after every meal, and at least rinsing out after snacks; use of a tongue scraper once per day; avoid foods and liquids high in refined sugars as well as sports drinks high in acidity. Finally, routine dental checkups and cleanings.
