Brushing Your Teeth is Not EnoughDid you know that brushing your teeth is not enough to say that your mouth is clean? A notable percentage of bacteria are found on your tongue. Bacteria on the tongue can cause bad breath and may cause cavities in your teeth. The tongue is made out of tiny buds side by side with crevices in between. These tiny buds are called papillae. Bacteria and remnants of food may remain in these crevices even if you brush your teeth. These bacteria on the tongue is actually the major cause of halitosis.

Do you think I dared using that package? I ended up returning it...of course it doesn't happen with such a small amount of exposure...but....who cares...why try it. Coca Cola and Teeth...By now, I think everyone has heard that Coca-Cola will dissolve your teeth, nails, remove rust, and it is so acidic that people use it to clean toilets...LOL I like to hear some dentist comments on this...how bad is it really? Well here is what Coca-Cola has to say about it: IU dental school disciplines 46 on cheating chargesWho would have ever thought, that by this day and age with all the high technology that's out there Dental students will try cheating? But, I guess one password leak and that would do... Don't you smart dental students think that repeated usage of the same password would turn on a red light? Now, I see why some dentists mess up your teeth more when you go in for a treatment |
