You are what you eat "really loved dental care with the regime," Denning said.

He continued: "What people do not know is that all carbohydrates can be cariogenic - and that means that the cause cavities - chips, pretzels ... things that crush and be like a paste to the teeth sit and can cause decay. "

Brush, rinse, repeat, "You should have your teeth twice for two minutes to brush a day." Denning said "really help electric toothbrushes, to do it right, and they have built two timers. I also designed, not your teeth are damaged by brushing."

Do not forget to floss: "You should use dental floss every day," Denning said. "I always tell my patients that if you do not do every day, missing half of the surfaces in the mouth between the teeth."

However, if I have a patient who gingivitis problems, then go for Listerine and products. "
