Start by arming yourself with the right weapon. Fighting cavities with a manual toothbrush is like a soldier racing into combat with just a slingshot. While the manual brush is effective, technological advances have made batterypowered toothbrushes an even better and more efficient way to fight the enemy. The truth is manual toothbrushes just can’t reach everything. In fact, despite vigorous brushing, you may still leave food and plaque behind when using a manual brush. Beyond choosing the right type of toothbrush to fight against cavities, remember these timehonored tips: • Limit the amount of sugary foods as they react with the bacteria on our teeth, forming acid that attacks tooth enamel. • Visit your dentist twice a year for professional teeth cleaning and a check-up. Be sure you go to your dentist in between checkups if your teeth cause you pain. For more information and tips, visit www.spinbrush.com. Courtesy of Family Features A To Z Medical Care P.C.
