A member asked:
What happens if i brush my teeth twice a day with an electric toothbrush and use sensodyne is it okay to eat lots of sweet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teeth: It is great to brush your teeth twice daily and use products that help control tarter. However, if you still eat a lot of sugar, your teeth will still get some effect. Sugar left on your teeth can cause decay. When you brush frequently, it helps but does not eliminate the issue.
