Improving the Cost and Quality of Oral Care – with Wellness Oral Care

Turns out, the cost of a great smile is a lot less than the cost of not doing a few simple things every day.  The importance of dental and orthodontic health can’t be understated.  In fact, certain conditions like Cardiovascular Disease, Osteoporosis, Diabetes and even Alzheimer’s disease are very closely connected with dental health.  This episode of The Balancing Act takes a look at the latest dental tools that can make your family’s oral healthcare routine simple, affordable and effective, thanks to the award-winning, dentist-recommended Wellness Oral Care line. The show also reveals the answers to a few simple questions: How often should you brush?  How often – and how – do you properly floss?  What’s the best type of toothbrush to use – standard, or electric?  How clean is your toothbrush? Learn the answers and how taking care of your smile can save you thousands of dollars – and frowns – down the road! Visit http://wellnessoralcare.com/ for even more information.
