Maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly, reducing sugary foods and drinks, and attending routine dental check-ups can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Early diagnosis allows small problems to be treated before they become more complex. Regular preventive care remains the best investment in long-term oral health.
