Healthy Teeth Means a Healthy Heart?
Brush your way to a healthier heart
"New research finds that brushing the teeth three or more times a day significantly reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation and heart failure."
"It's safer than cigarettes!" But is it?
The risks of this popular trend.
An e-cigarette turns the chemicals from the cartridge into a very fine vapor which then penetrates deep into the lung, deeper than regular cigarettes do. There are many risks with this kind of vaporization of chemicals. Risks which scientists are still trying to understand.

Selecting the correct Dental Products for your Child
Choosing a fluoride or fluoride-free toothpaste for your child is a common question that parents have. Fluoride strengthens the tooth enamel preventing cavity formation but if too much fluoride is ingested, it can cause fluorosis, the development of brown spots on teeth. Because of the dangers of accidental ingestion, we suggest that parents use a fluoride-free toothpaste for toddlers until they are able to spit out the toothpaste without swallowing any of it.
