Brush your teeth twice a day with a tooth paste that contains fluoride. Preferably, brush after each meal and before bedtime to help reduce the bacteria from staying on your teeth for a certain length of time.
You may wish to consider these helpful tips as well:

– Check with your dentist regarding the use of a supplemental fluoride which strengthens your teeth and helps prevents tooth decay.
– Consider dental sealants which is a plastic like substance placed on the top of molars to protect the teeth from decay.
