The Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) stresses the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene habits as an essential and easy way to prevent IE, and offers the following tips:

-- Brush your teeth twice a day with an ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush as soon as the bristles become frayed, about every three to four months. Floss daily to remove plaque stuck between the teeth.

-- Eat a well-balanced diet, limiting sugary snacks and beverages.

-- See your dentist regularly for cleanings and oral exams.
