I don't think there would be single person in this world who would not love to receive compliments on his smile...and your smile is confident only if you have a healthy jaw-line....

Ask them who have regular toothaches,they think everbody else in the world is happy whose teeth are sound...

Since childhood we have seen our mothers running behind us for brushing our teeth twice a day,and we used to be so very angry for this.... Now we realize the fact that mothers areNever wrong

The Do's & Don'ts for having a beautiful and confident smile :-

§ Brush your teeth at least twice a day and ideally after every meal, using fluoride-containing toothpaste.

§ Use floss every day.
