You can reduce the decay by maintaining proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and gargle after everymeal
Use any mouthwash with chlorhexidine twice daily but not recommended for long term use

Hello ,
It’s good that you have gotten scaling done. Scaling
1/year is absolutely necessary, so good job on taking the first step.
Secondly, to protect your teeth and keep it in healthy condition, follow these steps:
1. Brush 2 times everyday (morning + night after food)
. For 2-3 minutes with a soft bristle toothbrush and toothpaste (you can choose any toothpaste with fluoride, example- Colgate,oral b etc)
Procedure for brushing- you can Google
‘Modified bass method of tooth brushing ’ . You can follow this method.
2. Flossing in between teeth using a dental floss before brushing will help prevent food buildup and decay
Procedure for flossing can be found on Google/YouTube
3. Rinse your mouth with water after every meal and stay hydrated
4. Reduce eating sugary food and drinks, try consuming them with your meals and not in between meals
5. Get a dental check up and cleaning 1 Time every year
If These steps are followed consistently everyday the chances of decay reduces a lot.
A MOUTHWASH is recommended once the above steps are followed.
*Mouthwash is a supplement and long term use should be avoided(unless and until prescribed by a dentist)

Hello!
Best and safe mouthwash is warm salt water gargle, other mouthwashes should be used on consulting with your dental surgeon only. Over use is not good
Rinse after each meal and snacking
Brush twice and floss daily
Visit your dental surgeon once in every 6 months
