Hi Mariah,



Thanks for sharing your concern.



Frequent brushing is not required , but regular brushing is must.

It is best when you brush after meals, but since presently not in your habit. I will say start doing it at least twice .



That once in the morning before breakfast and evening after your dinner. This is very helpful.

when you don't brush and sleep in night whole night bacterial activity goes on cause lots of damage to your teeth.



Do regular flossing for inter dental areas , use mouth wash periodically, don't worry you will be problem free.



Later on, you can visit your dentist for a small oral check up, if any cavities are found. It can be restored in initial stages only.



Start from now before it gets too late.



Hope it helps, thank you.

hello daily brushing is must.
somehow if you dont have this habit . try gargling with chlorhexiding solution.
this will control development of cavities and plaque.
thank you

hi,
thanks for asking the query,
cavities are destruction of tooth structure by bacteria that can affect both enamel (outer covering of teeth) and dentine . Bacteria in the mouth digest the food and release acids , which clings to the tooth surface and and creates holes in the tooth causing cavities.
It can be prevented by,
Brushing teeth twice daily.
clean your teeth with dental floss, interdental cleaners, mouthwashes.
Eat nutritious balanced diet.
Avoid eating sticky food stuffs and brush teeth afterwards.
Check your dentist regularly for cleaning and examination.

Regards.
