About Me

Your body can reflect the things you eat, and the same goes for your teeth. I always finished my meals with very sugary desserts, such as chocolate cake or fruit sorbet. I also snacked on sweets throughout the day. One of the things I didn't do is brush my teeth after I ate my sugary foods. Not only did I gain weight, I developed tooth decay in eight of my teeth. Although a dentist filled five of my teeth, they couldn't save the last three. I now limit my sweets and brush my teeth regularly. I even floss and use fluoride rinses twice a day. What you eat can affect everything about your health, including your mouth. If you want to learn more about eating healthy and maintaining good oral care, read my blog. I offer many tips you can use for you and your family. Thanks for reading.
