Do You Believe Them or Not?

These are just some of the weird superstitions involving teeth. But these days, most people no longer believe such superstitions. It is amusing to think though that some people back then truly believed in some of them.

The real fact about teeth, however, is that if you do not brush, floss, and keep them clean with mouthwash, they will simply rot. That is the most important thing about teeth and dental health that you should know.
