Best way to take care of rotten teeth? (on top of brushing, flossing, rinsing)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Dentist: Get to your dentist and get them taken care of. You may be brushing, flossing, and rinsing but maybe you are not doing it quite like you should. Diet is actually a major contributor to dental problems as well. Constant exposure to sugars of all kinds is very problematic.
