Improving Men’s Oral Health
The teeth of men and women are identical in makeup and appearance. A study gave experts a bunch of teeth, and they correctly picked the sex of the owner 50 percent of the time—the same as if they were guessing.
Good Oral Hygiene When You’re Away From Home
Often, when on vacation, the routines we’ve developed at home—like daily oral hygiene—can fall by the wayside. While you may be on a fun, relaxing, and well-deserved getaway, you could be giving streptococcus mutans—the bacterium which causes tooth decay—the advantage it’s been waiting for.

And yet, many parents overlook the importance of ensuring a child’s oral health as the academic year begins.

While many products can satisfy a parched throat, the aforementioned could have negative consequences on oral health. Of all beverage options, which is the best for teeth?

As a child, I was frequently told that crunchy foods were good for one’s teeth. Apples and carrots were usually the foods used as examples. I also remember thinking that, if crunchy foods were good for teeth, then surely jawbreakers, Jolly Ranchers, and Jordan almonds must be the best possible thing for my teeth, since there weren’t many foods crunchier than those.
