Vitamin D might help prevent tooth decay, a new review of existing studies published in the journal Nutrition Reviews found. The review includes data from 3,000 children enrolled in 24 clinical trials published from the 1920s to the 1980s. Overall, the trials showed that vitamin D supplementation led to a 50 percent drop in the incidence of tooth decay, perhaps because vitamin D helps the body absorb the tooth-building calcium it needs.

In most cases, a dental hygienist and dentist will perform your dental checkup. Not every dentist operates the same way, but a dental checkup typically involves: Cleaning and polishing. Your dental hygienist will use a special instrument called a hand scaler or ultrasonic dental instrument to scrape and remove the tartar from your teeth. He or she will then polish your teeth, often with a rotating rubber cup or brush, to remove any remaining plaque or stains. [ 421 more words. ]

The most serious issue is mouth cancer, it is hard to say what percentage of people who smoke will get mouth cancer, but the death rate of those who do get it is high — between 40 and 50 percent of all cases, and that hasn’t changed over the last few decades.

If you are like most people, you take your toothbrush out and use a back-and-forth motion, similar to sawing back and forth, until you feel like your teeth are clean and slippery.

But before you swear off brushing, know this: These bacteria are not a big threat to your pearly whites.

Just as you enter adulthood, your wisdom teeth make their presence known in the far reaches of your mouth. Wisdom teeth — officially the third molars — are the last set of teeth to come in, usually between 17 and 25 years of age, in the called “age of wisdom.” For some, these teeth come in fine. For many others, wisdom teeth do not come in properly (if at all), are vulnerable to disease, and need to be removed to protect a healthy mouth. [ 381 more words. ]

Just like you brush your teeth every day, flossing must be part of your daily routine.
