Regular teeth cleani: Sure it does. Healthy diet might not prevent plaques or other debris from accumulating around your teeth.

Yes: Eating healthy is important but does nothing to protect your teeth from decay and gum disease.

You bet!: There are things that you simply cannot do with home hygiene that must be done to keep your mouth healthy. Ask your dentist or hygienist for more details.
