More tips from Dr. Oz:

Brush your teeth for a full two minutes every day.

• Be careful not to brush too hard, and pick a soft-bristled brush with tapered tips.
• Make sure your toothpaste does not contain triclosan or sodium lauryl sulfate as ingredients.
• Reach for a natural mouthwash that is both alcohol- and sugar-free.
• Chewing sugarless gum and mints is a great way to help protect your teeth against enamel decay, but make sure what you chew is sugarless in order to prevent tooth decay.
