| Dental Tips |
 Rinse your mouth with plain water a few times each day when you don't have a chance to use a toothbrush or floss. This helps dislodge food particles trapped next to teeth that cause problems when left there too long. |

| Braces create favorable environment for developing tooth decay and cavities. About 4 million of American children and about a million of adults are getting this orthodontic treatments, and all of them are in the risk group of having dental problems. |
| |
| Cough drops, antacids, and chewable vitamin C tablets typically contain cavity-producing sugar. Rinse with water after you use them; this neutralizes the acidity, which promotes tooth decay. |
| |
| Most children will be able to brush their own teeth by age 6 or 7. Select for them a brush that has soft, rounded bristles and teach them to use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. |

| Bridges |
Sometimes a bit more work is needed to give you the smile you want. If you are missing teeth, having trouble speaking or chewing, or are noticing strain when biting, bridges may be the ideal procedure to help make your mouth healthy and beautiful again.
Bridges, sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, literally bridge gaps between teeth by filling them with strong, natural-looking artificial teeth. Bridges are semi-permanent – they can only be removed by a dentist – and are comfortable and proven to strengthen teeth.
