Plaque and food debris trapped between your teeth are the number one source of bad breath. The solution is simple – keep your teeth clean.

Bad breath is a warning sign for gum disease, which attacks the tissue around the jawbone, resulting in wobbly teeth. Dental treatment for these conditions and excellent brushing and flossing techniques can get rid of bad breath and save your teeth!

Mothers-to-be should take special care of their teeth during pregnancy. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy can exaggerate some dental disorders, especially gum disease.

• Did you know that pregnant women with gum disease are seven to eight times more likely to give birth prematurely to low-birth-weight babies?

That is just one of the many reasons why expecting mothers need take care of their teeth during pregnancies by coming in for dental cleanings regularly.

Having decayed teeth untreated can result in a number of unpleasant and undesirable consequences.  Underlying permanent teeth can be damaged or the space necessary for permanent teeth to grow can be lost.
