Brushing and Flossing

We've noticed an alarming increase in cavities in the south.  We at DuBose Family and Cosmetic Dentistry are encouraging all ages of patients to truly brush and floss twice a day.  Brushing in the morning removes the smell and freshens the mouth, but the evening is when all the days foods and drinks must be brushed and flossed away.  No tooth brush can get between those teeth, so please floss.
Also important that we cut down on the soft drinks, energy drinks, and sports drinks because of the high sugar content and high acidic nature.  Our teeth don't agree with those two combinations!
