Lunchtime Talk: 10 things you should know but didn't about your teeth!

Do you know that...?

• Teeth are strong, but they are not meant to crack the shells of your favourite chilli crabs?
• Sugars are bad, but the diet drinks and juices that you consumed can also be harmful.
• Gum diseases don't just threaten your dental health; they are also linked to other problems such as heart diseases, diabetics, premature births and may also jeopardize your overall health! 
• There is a biological price to pay for that Hollywood smile. Just because a tooth is dead or capped, it does not mean that you no longer need to brush it well.
• A healthy tooth is better than a dead tooth, a dead tooth is better than a false tooth; a false tooth is better than no tooth!
• Regular checkups are still the best and most economical way to preserve your dental health!
