Sept. 28, 2010— -- A healthful diet can actually improve the health and appearance of your teeth to better showcase your smile.

More Oral Hygiene Tips:
1. Maintain good oral hygiene. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day to get rid of the food debris and plaque that often lead to cavities and bad breath. Flossing is also a must. Toothbrushes cannot remove bacteria that gets trapped under your gums. Also, be sure to get your teeth cleaned by a dentist twice a year.
2. Treat existing oral diseases.
3. Clean your tongue while brushing your teeth.
4. Switch from coffee to tea.
5. Chew sugarless gum.
