Secondly, we should brush our teeth at least twice a day – once after breakfast, and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, fish, potatoes, raw vegetables and fresh fruit.
