Smiles For Miles

It is important to brush and floss daily to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Did you know there are extra ways to help keep your chompers healthy and strong?

For instance, fluoride toothpastes and mouth rinses are available over-the-counter. Also, eating a balanced diet and limiting sugary drinks and snacks can support good oral health.

When you can, drink a glass of water after meals. This can help wash away sugars from foods and drinks. Additionally, if you eat or drink something that is acidic, like soda or candy, wait 30 minutes before brushing. This will give your saliva time to neutralize the acids and protect your teeth.
