So Then My Dentist Said "Have You Considered A Sonicare Brush?"

The best way to keep your teeth healthy and looking and feeling their best is proper brushing and flossing. Of course, regular dental appointments are important, too. Go every six months, or right away if you have tooth pain or loose teeth.

If you're just trying to keep your teeth healthy, then it makes sense to talk to your dentist about the best oral hygiene care routine to implement at home.

More and more studies are coming out regularly linking our oral health with the health of our whole body. Gum disease may indicate the higher likelihood of heart disease, strokes and diabetes.

It's critical to see a professional on a regular basis to keep an eye on your teeth and gums and make sure they are healthy.

While you're there at the dentist, they also make you go through that fun little procedure called scraping, which sounds excruciating, although there's really not much to feel since they're scraping hard teeth with no nerves.

Plaque removal is a necessary and important part of your dental cleaning, though... that's why the dental hygienist makes the big bucks!

Keeping your teeth clean and healthy will also help you avoid a lot of potentially dangerous conditions like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Unhealthy mouths are often a sign of unhealthy bodies.

You can see that good care of your teeth is not just good for oral health, it's good for your whole body.

Since I didn't enjoy that scaling-scraping from the dental hygienist, I asked my dentist if I should pick up an electric toothbrush at the store. He said "Yes! But not just any old electric toothbrush." He recommended a Sonicare brush. Sonicare toothbrushes use a super-fast vibrating head to brush away plaque, and they emit a pulsing sound wave that helps break up and loosen the plaque.

Now, using my Sonic care twice a day, I have been able to keep my teeth in really good shape. I am 30 years old and I have never had a cavity. I'm sure some of my good luck is genes, drinking milk, and consuming fluoridated water, but the Sonicare is definitely helping me hedge my bets, too!
