Avoid or limit:
❌ Sugary drinks (soda, fruit juice, sports drinks)
❌ Candy & processed sweets
❌ High-carb snacks (white bread, chips, pastries)
❌ Citrus fruits & vinegar (can erode enamel if overconsumed)
✅ If you eat acidic foods, rinse your mouth with water and wait 30 minutes before brushing!
3️⃣ Oil Pulling (Natural Detox for Teeth & Gums) 🥥
Oil pulling with coconut oil or sesame oil removes toxins and harmful bacteria.
How to Oil Pull:
✔ Take 1 tablespoon of coconut or sesame oil.
✔ Swish in your mouth for 15-20 minutes.
✔ Spit out (do NOT swallow) and rinse with warm water.

✅ Oil pulling reduces plaque, strengthens gums, and supports enamel health!
4️⃣ Brush & Floss with Natural Remineralizing Toothpaste 🦷
Ingredients to Look for in Toothpaste:
✔ Fluoride or hydroxyapatite – Strengthens enamel and prevents cavities.

DIY Natural Toothpaste Recipe:
