It is important to keep your body and the body of your loved ones healthy.  Staying healthy and promoting healthy habits can keep you from pain and from spending excess money to fix health issues.  Going to the dentists can get very expensive because lots of healthcare insurance plans don’t include it.  THe cost for your family could be thousands just for insurance each year. The majority of people only go to the dentist when they actually have an emergency situation so keeping yourself from getting there is important. So let's go over a few tips that can increase your health and keep you from making extra trips to the dentist.

Take your vitamins. Malnutrition is the cause of many dental problems.  When people are not getting the vitamins they need in nutritious food they can get toothaches.  It is a tell tale sign of tooth aches.  So find a good multi vitamin and get some calcium magnesium supplements.  Most humans are only able to replace enamel in their teeth until their mid 40’s. So if you are younger than that keep taking calcium magnesium supplements to keep your teeth replenished and healthy.  Make it a habit to purchase good vitamins and to take them every day.  I make it a habit to take my vitamins in the morning while my coffee is brewing. It started as a necessity and now it's a habit.

Drink lots of water.  We are made up mostly of water as humans and its very important for your health to stay hydrated. Many people don’t drink enough water and it causes extra harm then not just staying hydrated.  By drinking water with every meal you are able to help your mouth cleanse itself.  Drinking water helps get rid of bacteria that creates plaque.  Drinking water rinses the mouth and by helping to eliminate plaque you can save yourself from the cavities that ensue and if left too long gum disease.  So try to make it a habit to drink lots of water.  I find it is easiest when you have a container you enjoy drinking out of. It can be a stainless steel water bottle or a cool looking nalgene.  Make sure it fits your lifestyle not only at home but also at work.  So if you work in an office make sure you have a container that is appropriate for the environment.  Looking good and being able to drink is still important.  So stay healthy, take your vitamins and drink lots of water and see your local healthcare provider for more information on both!
