Brush and floss your teeth!

Are you aware that having placque build up on your teeth contributes to heart attacks? I was not aware of this. My husband heard this on the news awhile back. I also read on the boards that it isn't the lack of calcium so much, that are teeth start decaying. It is the fact that we don't drink with our meals and wash the food down. We are eating more dense foods, such as meats and they cling between our teeth and that causes the decaying. I have started flossing on a regular basis now. Hugs, Debbie -45.5
