Tooth decay is a common condition in which the enamel layer on the teeth is eroded by acids produced by bacteria in the mouth. To protect and maintain teeth from decay,

Dr. Ayman Al-Ghamrawy Center and Clinics provides tips to protect teeth from decay by following the following procedures:

1. Maintain dental hygiene: It is recommended to brush your teeth with a brush and toothpaste after each meal or at least twice a day, and use dental floss to remove food residues between the teeth.

2. Reduce sugar intake: Sugars are a major source of acids that lead to tooth erosion, so it is recommended to reduce the intake of sweets, soft drinks and sweetened juices.

3. Eat healthy foods: It is recommended to eat foods rich in calcium, vitamins and proteins to strengthen teeth and maintain their health.

4. Visit the dentist regularly: It is recommended to visit the dentist for examination and cleaning periodically, and reduce smoking and alcohol consumption, as they lead to tooth erosion and cause them to disintegrate.

5. Use mouthwash: Fluoride-containing mouthwash can be used to strengthen teeth and reduce tooth decay.

6. Use a dental guard: It is recommended to wear a dental guard when engaging in sports activities that involve the possibility of injury that may lead to tooth fracture.

In short, you can maintain dental health and avoid tooth decay by maintaining dental hygiene, reducing sugar intake, eating healthy foods, visiting your dentist regularly, and using a mouthwash and dental guard when needed.
