To protect your teeth from injury, take the time to take care of your teeth. Be diligent about brushing and flossing. And make the time to visit the dentist twice a year.

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day and try to floss daily. This is the key to keeping your teeth healthier and whiter.
• See a dentist at least once every 6 months. They will be able to detect cavities and other oral issues in their early stages.
• Change your toothbrush regularly. A toothbrush should not be used longer than a maximum of three months.
• Replace your toothbrush after you have suffered an illness to prevent the risk of getting yourself sick again.
• Use a mouth rinse that contains fluoride to help protect your teeth from cavities by keeping the enamel strong.
