Your oral health is linked to your overall general health,” says SmileDirectClub’s Lead Dentist, Dr. Jeffery Sulitzer.
“Brushing and flossing can reduce chronic inflammation of the gums and support tooth structure to help prevent major chronic inflammatory disease,” Dr. Sulitzer says.
Don’t store your toothbrush in a small and enclosed space, it will produce more bacteria,” Dr. Sulitzer says.
Bacteria builds up (on the retainer) and can lead to cavities, tooth sensitivity, and other harmful issues,” Dr. Sulitzer says.
