I recently read an article about flossing. The article stated that t taking good care of
your teeth and gums can not only add years to your life, but also lowers risk
for heart disease, stroke, diabetes—and even memory-robbing disorders like
Alzheimer’s disease? A new study of nearly 5,000 older adults found that those
who brushed their teeth less than once a day were up to 65 percent more likely
to develop dementia than those who brushed daily. Read the whole article here: http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/better-floss-or-after-brushing.

My mother is known for her smile. She smiles all the time, and my daddy says he
spent a fortune on her mouth. The other
day a man came up to me in church and told me what a great smile I have, and
that really gave me a boost. I have
always tried to take great care of my teeth, especially seeing my husband have
his pulled to have dentures fitted. He
had taken care of his teeth; however, genetics still gave him problems.

Your teeth are very important to your health and
well-being. Even while I write I feel
the urge to floss. I use a water pic, a
pre-soaking rinse, soft brush as recommended by my dentist, and sensitive tooth
paste. There are other new pastes and
gels on the market, like those that harden your enamel. I don’t know about those, but I do know the
ones that work on sensitive teeth do help.
I couldn't eat anything cold, but once I started using Arm & Hammer’s
Pronamel, I have once again been able to enjoy ice cream.
This month is National Dental Hygiene Month. Take extra time to clean your teeth, and make
sure to floss. It is recommended to brush two minutes twice a day and floss and
rinse daily. Have an annual checkup with
your dentist so that your great smile will last a lifetime.
