Brush Up on Dental Care
October is Dental Hygene Month This month you are encouraged to remember The Daily Four: Brush Floss Rinse Chew We know the first three, but chew? Did you know that chewing sugar-free gum after meals and snacks helps protect teeth and complements a healthy oral care routine.
Chewing stimulates the salivary glands to increase their flow rate by up to 10 times during the first few minutes of chewing, and the flavors in sugar-free gum also increase the quantity of saliva in the mouth. This helps clean out food particles and neutralizes biofilm acids on the teeth.
