Dental Tips
Rinse your mouth with plain water a few times each day when you don't have a chance to use a toothbrush or floss. This helps dislodge food particles trapped next to teeth that cause problems when left there too long. The importance? Exposed roots are softer than dental enamel and can form decay more easily. |
