And that can eventually cause cavities, which can lead to drilling at the dentist. Healthy teeth are part of a healthy body. Not to mention the fact that if you lose your permanent teeth, they're gone forever! That's why you should: Brush your teeth AT LEAST twice a day — once in the morning and again before you go to bed. Be sure to floss at least once before you go to bed to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Visit your dentist for regular checkups. If you do all of the above, it can make a world of difference in your smile!
