Lift the lip to look for early signs of tooth decay once a month.
Healthy teeth have a whitish hue and are smooth and glossy.
If you see white lines along the gumline, you should make a dental appointment now.
If you see brown or yellow spots that don't brush of, see a dentist or dental therapist urgently.
