To ensure the cleanliness of the oral cavity is an effective method to prevent dental caries and periodontal disease, we must brush our teeth correctly, and it is best to use fluoride toothpaste, which can prevent root surface caries, and if the teeth are sensitive, we can use desensitizing toothpaste.
