The best remedy is to stick with an ideal dental hygiene routine. Make sure that you brush and floss your teeth on daily basis. You need to learn about the right way to brush your teeth and you have to make sure that you are neither over-brushing nor leaving the teeth with dental plaque still there on the teeth.
Flossing is a bit difficult than brushing but once you get used to this practice, you will not find it difficult at all. Flossing is important because it can clean interdental spaces and the areas around the gum line. And if you really find it difficult and/or time consuming to floss your teeth, you can use water flossing device which shoots a stream of water with a pressure which is enough to dislodge plaque from the teeth. Regular use of this device can ensure proper cleaning of your teeth in the same way that with flossing.
