Brush The Right Way

Flossing is Important!

Many of us see flossing as an extra step in the brushing process, some do it everyday, some do it once a week. In fact, flossing is almost as important as brushing itself, it’s a great way to stimulate the gums, reduce plaque, and help lower any inflammation in your gums. Find all your flossing needs here!

Fruits & Vegetables

Fruits & Vegetables are not only good for your overall health but great for your teeth! Eating fresh, crunchy produce contains healthy fiber and strengthens your teeth. This is especially beneficial for younger children whose teeth and jaws are continuously growing.

Limit Sugary & Acidic Foods

As delicious as sugary foods are, they are silent killers of your teeth. Sugar converts into acid in the mouth, which can erode the enamel of your teeth. These acids are what lead to cavities. Acidic fruits, teas and coffee can also attack and wear down the enamel in your teeth.
