You make choices throughout your day that can have an impact on your dental health. Some of these choices can be more obvious than others, of course. The choice to skip brushing your teeth because you were running late for work can have a clear negative impact, as you can allow bacteria to stay in place, and you can leave plaque deposits to harden to tartar. Other choices, like your selection of soda or water at a meal, will also have an impact.

The right habits can help you avoid tooth decay, and also to maintain a more attractive smile. (more…)
