Teeth loss prevention?

I lost dental insurance ever since I turned 18 and haven't been to the dentist since. I'm now going on 20 and need to know how to preserve my teeth before they fall out. Any effective home remedies?
--------------------
There are many reasons for tooth loss, and most of them are related to your oral hygiene practices. Like tooth decay, gum disease which can be caused when your diet and oral hygiene practice do not match well. You need to rinse the mouth properly after every meal and brush twice a day, and if you can, then flossing is also helpful. Other factors are tooth injury, and some general conditions which are not related to how well you maintain the oral hygiene. Smoking and tobacco chewing etc. habits if you have any, would slowly lead to destruction of tissue around teeth, leading to loose tooth later.
