"Brushing up" at the office
A healthy smile affects all parts of your life –
even your professional life. But a survey by the Academy of General Dentistry
and Oral-B Laboratories found that only 14 percent of us
brush our teeth at work. Here are some tips to help you keep your breath fresh and smile bright all day
at the office.
Choosing a toothbrush and toothpaste
With so many choices for
toothbrushes
and toothpaste,
how do you choose the one that’s most effective or that will work
best for you? A couple simple guidelines and the American Dental Association
(ADA) seal of acceptance give you all the help you need.
How vegetarians can ensure good oral health
Should
vegetarians be concerned about oral
health? While a vegetarian diet can have great overall health benefits,
vegetarians need to be aware of how this lifestyle choice can affect their oral
health. For vegetarians – as for everyone – a balanced diet is a key ingredient
to good oral health.
