With this much experience, surely you know what you’ve been doing, right? Chances are, no. In fact, most people, though they brush their teeth, do an inadequate job that, at worst, can lead to significant oral health issues, and, at best, isn’t protecting the integrity and strength of their teeth.

Taking care of your oral health is something we all know…

In addition, it can cause skin problems and acne, exacerbate asthma, and act as a catalyst for mood disorders, depression, and anxiety. It can also do incredible amounts of damage to the teeth.
