At every appointment, your dentist will brush, floss, and polish your teeth. By removing the buildup of plaque and tartar, your smile is immediately lightened.
Beyond the basics, there are very simple doings that your can add to your overall routine to boost your general health! One such routine is washing that mouth out!
