Avoid making holes (piercing) in areas of the mouth (tongue, lips, etc.) The holes (perforations) made in the tongue, lips, etc. They can cause infections, bleeding and damage to the nerves of the mouth. They can also damage the enamel or break the tooth.
Do not smoke or use tobacco to chew. Smoking or chewing tobacco can stain your teeth and gums and add to the buildup of tartar on your teeth.

Limit your consumption of sweet and sticky foods such as fruit bars, raisins, pacifiers and other types of candy. Sweet and sticky foods can get stuck between your teeth and this can cause cavities.
