For every 3-4 hours, or after taking meals, warm water with salt has to be used to clean the mouth.  Or one can use the mouth wash prescribed by their doctors. It has to be practiced for some days necessarily. If the food particle gets in between the gaps and holes of teeth, hydrogen peroxide should be used to clean it.
