There have been tremendous advances in dentistry over the years helping us to keep or obtain a beautiful smile, but it still is very important to take care of what’s in our mouth – your teeth and gums.  Oral health often gets overlooked in the scheme of taking care of ourselves. We may not brush as often as we should, or we forget to floss or even keep regular dental appointments.  But if we want to be able to chew and eat our food in a comfortable manner, this is an area not to neglect.  Because we have to eat just to stay alive and it’s one of the pleasures of life, our oral health should take precedence.
