When we think of New Year’s resolutions, we tend to think of things that will help make us healthier. For many people, this means working out or losing weight, but few people realize that taking good care of your teeth is a huge part of improving your overall health.
Teeth are strong. In fact, tooth enamel is the strongest substance in the body. At 96% mineral composition, it’s even stronger than bone is. But that doesn’t mean that our teeth are unbreakable.
Welcome to our first-ever edition of Tooth Talk!
The scariest thing about Halloween isn’t the ghosts, ghouls, or goblins… it’s cavities! It’s the time of year where kids and adults alike indulge in plenty of sweet treats - probably more than they should. If you don’t take extra good care of your teeth, this Halloween could land you right in the dentist’s chair.
Everyone knows that the most important thing you can do at home to improve your dental health is to regularly brush your teeth. Unfortunately, not everyone knows the best way to brush their teeth. If you aren’t sure whether you are brushing your teeth correctly, our tooth brushing quiz can give you some insight!
Your teeth are one of the most important parts of your body. After all, without them, it would be much more difficult to nourish yourself!
