1. After eating anything - rinse your teeth with water, swishing water or gargling & cleaning mouth few times.
While bathing or when you wash your face, fill your mouth with water & swish / gargle, to clean the mouth as well.
When drinking water or liquids, keep it in the mouth, allowing to rinse for few seconds, and then take it in.
2. Once or twice everyday, add a tea-spoon of oil to a cup of lukewarm water and swish in your mouth for around 10-15 min and gargle. Oils like Arimedadhi oil, Coconut oil, Mustard oil, Seasame oil, Olive oil etc. can be used preferably in pure, unrefined, unprocessed form.
3. Do 'Seetkari pranayama' for healthy teeth and gums.
Press teeth against each other and breathe in from the mouth. This will produce a sound like 'sssss..'. Breathe out from nose.
Repeat the process minimum 7 times or for around 2-3 min.
Some Indian families teach kids to practice this exercise while urinating, which is good and makes it easy to add this to routine and repeat a few times, everyday.
4. Massage the gums with your finger using mustard oil regularly. Leave for 2 -3 min and rinse with water.
Add pinch of salt + turmeric with mustard oil & massage teeth and gums, thrice a week serves well, generally.
5. Brush your teeth for couple of minutes, twice a day - after breakfast and after dinner brushing is beneficial. Do an additional check, after brushing for any remains of food particles or plaque and make sure to get rid of the same. Use herbal / natural toothpaste. Preferably, use tree stem (e.g. Neem, Babool, Chirchita) to brush.
Do Not overbrush your teeth (avoid hard brushing for long duration). Brushing once using finger is better, when the cleanliness can be maintained.

10. If one already has teeth decay or a RCT tooth, more discipline & priority is needed for dental hygience & care. For example:
Do oil pulling (Tip 2. above) using a t-spoon of oil (without diluting or heating), swish for 20 min, twice a day.
You may also add one drop of neem oil to this oil pulling solution, once in around a week's time, for couple of months, until the infection subsides. Neem oil has antiseptic, anti fungal properties, which are useful to fight against tooth infection. However, it is also used as a pesticide, hence the quantity and frequency should be kept very low & limited, as essential.
