#Tip... Keep oral hygiene products at work. Studies show that the chance of a person using them during the day will increase 65 percent.
#Tip... Brush with the radio on - we recommend that you brush for the entire length of a song.
#Tip... Overzealous BLEACHING can cause your teeth to look unnaturally white and increase tooth sensitivity. Before using an at-home bleaching product, please consult with us. We can advise you on proper use of these products as well as which type of bleaching system will provide you with the best results.
#Tip... DON'T brush your teeth TOO SOON after eating! Consuming acidic foods and beverages, such as sports and energy drinks, citrus fruits, wine, and tomatoes, can erode tooth enamel. Brushing your teeth too soon after eating and drinking these items can cause more damage because you are essentially brushing the acid into the teeth, not getting rid of it. Instead, you should rinse your mouth with water after consuming acidic foods and beverages and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your pearly whites!
#Tip... A mouth rinse, in addition to daily brushing and flossing, can increase the cleanliness of your mouth. Antimicrobial mouth rinses reduce bacteria and plaque activity, which cause gingivitis and gum disease. Fluoride mouth rinses also help reduce and prevent tooth decay.
