"The world is like a mirror; frown at it, and it frowns at you. Smile, and it smiles too." - Herbert Samuels

Certain cheeses, including aged cheddar, Swiss, and Monterey Jack, have been found to protect teeth from decay.

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless, you may not know you have it; it is possible to have gum disease and have no warning signs. That is one reason why regular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are very important!

Consider using an electric or battery-operated toothbrush, which can reduce plaque and a mild form of gum disease (gingivitis) more than manual brushing. These devices are also helpful if you have arthritis or other conditions that make it difficult to brush effectively.
