Saliva does more than just keep your mouth moist—it’s your body’s natural defense system!

It washes away food particles, neutralizes acids, and delivers minerals that strengthen enamel. Plus, it helps you taste, chew, and digest food with ease. Keep those glands happy by staying hydrated and practicing good oral care every day.

It's National Pasta Day! While this might be one of your favorite meals, it's important to know that starchy foods can leave behind sticky residue that feeds cavity-causing bacteria.

When starches break down, they turn into sugars that cling to your teeth, especially after a hearty meal. To keep your smile clean, drink water while eating, and brush or rinse soon after.
