Caring for your Teeth

Cares For Your Body

ur smile plays a huge role in how we communicate with the world, so it’s understandable for us to be concerned about the impression it leaves. This is why cosmetic dentistry is a $5.6 billion industry in the U.S., according to IBISWorld, with teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding and tooth and gum contouring.

O ur self-confidence can be affected by whether we’re revealing chipped, stained or crooked teeth or other not-so-attractive sights.

But our teeth are obviously much more than a façade. They prepare food for its journey through our gut to fuel our energy, in the process picking up bacteria, sugar and other substances that damage them and can lead to wider problems affecting our overall health.

O ur teeth are luckier than other parts of our body in that most of us pay daily attention to them by brushing, but many are less consistent with that second brushing, flossing, twiceyearly dental visits and other recommended measures.

For today, and every day after, take one additional step to protect your oral and every other level of health.

Be well,
