• We use our teeth every day -to munch on an apple or carrot, to hold a pen -knife or a hairpin.
• We put them on display when we smile or laugh.
• But we rarely think about the strain we subject them to, rushing to the dentist only when our teeth cry out in pain. Or, sometimes, when they spoil the symmetry of our face.

Significance of the teeth to smiling and to the face in general should not be underestimated. Teeth contribute an important part to what we term" appearance".

See your dentist every six months. Your teeth may not look dirty from the outside, but bacteria and plaque lurks in places you cannot see in the mirror.

Toothpastes for sensitivity, useful for short term use, mask the ability of the teeth to warn the patient of new periods of toothwear progression.

Gum diseases can be treated and reversed in their initial stages very easily. By getting the accumulated tartar and plaque removed by a dentist, there is a chance that they can get better.

Toothpicks can be an alternative to use for flossing if dental floss is not available. Remember not to be too harsh while using it.
