Too many people make the mistake of underestimating the profound impact their dental health has on their quality of life and lifespan. Unfortunately, most of the commonly available information about preventing dental disease lacks critical information you need to understand in order to make informed decisions that affect your health for decades to come. Odds are that you, and most of the people around you, are at high risk of developing unseen health complications from tooth decay and gum disease that lead to degenerative diseases and fatal infections. Here is a sample of what you will learn: * It is unlikely that you have heard about the stunning fact that you probably have switched off the natural ability of your teeth to maintain their internal health. Find out how you have caused the problem and why you may never have good dental health if you do not correct the mistake. * If you think that bacteria are the cause of tooth decay, you are incorrect. You will learn about the real causes of tooth decay and what you can do about it. * Did you know that there are times when you absolutely should not brush your teeth? Caring for your teeth involves more than simply brushing and flossing every day. * Are you dissolving your teeth every day? It is much easier than you think to destroy your teeth and your health by not knowing what to do after you consume many popular foods and beverages. Immediately brushing afterwards is not the answer. * Brushing and flossing are not nearly enough to prevent tooth decay. When you use the information you learn in this book, in conjunction with the recommended dental cleaning regimen, you will dramatically reduce your chances of having tooth decay or periodontal disease. Your dental health and physical health are linked more closely than you have ever imagined. With the information in this book you can make changes that will have a positive impact on your life for years to come.
