When you're smiling the whole world smiles with you!

Did you know the first toothbrushes were actually twigs our ancestors chewed on, using the frayed ends to cleanse their teeth?

Depending on your oral health, you should talk to your dentist about what type of toothbrush you should be using. For example, someone with braces will need a special kind of toothbrush to clean between brackets. Younger children will need softer, smaller brushes to gently clean their teeth.

Sugar converts into acid in your mouth, which can then lead to cavities and erode the enamel of your teeth. Choose healthier options such as water, unsweetened tea, and fruit.

Maintaining oral health on a daily basis goes beyond brushing a couple of times a day when you remember. Without brushing, flossing and rinsing, teeth build up the plaque that produces acids, wearing away tooth enamel. Making sure that your brush in the morning and before bed will help prevent buildup and tooth decay in the long run.
