Summer days and nights find us relaxing by the beach or pool, enjoying a family bbq, or going away for a vacation. While you take more time to relax, slow down, and spend more time with friends and family, keep these tips in mind to make sure that your dental health doesn’t take a break as well:

How to fight bad breath:

It’s something that we’ve all dealt with in one way or another, but rarely discuss due to its taboo nature: halitosis, or bad breath. Whether it’s a problem you often worry about or someone else’s breath that is causing you grief, it can be a sore subject when it’s difficult to get rid of.

Which Toothpaste Do You Use?

Do you have a preferred brand, or do you buy what’s on sale? What’s the best toothpaste out there?

Well, as the saying goes – you should only floss the teeth you plan to keep. And, it’s true. Next to brushing, flossing is the most important thing you can do to ensure good oral hygiene.
