Use a straw when you have sugary drinks, it reduces contact of sugar and tooth, and can really reduce plaque!

I support this post.

If I may contribute: Tongue brushes can help lessen bad breath, and make your mouth feel cleaner.

Floss after every meal because plaque build up contributes to heart disease.

This so much. If the reader isn't convinced, take your finger scrape the back of your tongue and smell it. Yea, that's why your breath stinks.

Tooth plaque =/= plaque in your arteries.

Except when it does.

inb4 OP trips over himself to post this:
> The researchers said more work is needed to confirm if poor oral health directly causes heart disease or is a marker of risk.

Correlaion does not imply causation.

Obviously people who eat poorly will have bad oral health.
Obviously people who eat poorly will have heart problems.

Miswak is better than toothpaste for preventing gum disease. It is being known as chewing stick in the western world and is being looked upon as a form of alternative medicine.

Miswak
The fact is ancient man did not have the facility of a toothbrush and many cultures have used Miswak for oral hygiene. The use of Miswak is well spread in the Arab population of the world, and is a common entity in Arab countries. The reason for common use of Miswak by Arabs can be attributed to religious beliefs. The last messenger of Islam used it frequently and also instructed his followers to do the same and hence the practice continues widely in Muslim countries. There are 70 benefits of Miswak as suggested by Islamic Literature and many of these have been scientifically proven and the rest havenâ€™t been studied yet.
The Miswak is obtained from the twigs of the Arak tree (Peelu tree) although a few other trees can also be used to obtain it such as walnut and olive.

A few important benefits of Miswak:

Kills Gum disease causing bacteria.
Fights plaque effectively.
Fights against caries.
Removes Bad breath and odor from mouth.
Creates a fragrance in the mouth.
Effectively clean between teeth due to its parallel bristles.
Increases salivation and hence inhibits dry mouth (Xerostomia)
