Good news! The proanthocyanidins in red wine have strong antioxidant properties that work to prevent bacteria from sticking to your teeth! So if you're stuck at home or avoiding going out due to the coronavirus, pour yourself a glass of red wine. It will help with the cabin fever AND helps to fight oral bacteria. Just make sure to rinse with water after to prevent staining.⠀ ⠀ #wine #healthysmile #dentalhealth #oralhygiene #paulwilliamsdds

If you dont floss, you miss cleaning 40% of your tooth surfaces. You'd never shower without washing your armpits, similarly you should never skip flossing. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #oralhealth #dentalhygiene #flossing #badbreath #plaque #nike #paulwilliamsdds

Gold "fillings" (accurately referred to as inlays or onlays) are ideal for people who excessively grind their teeth or are more susceptible to fractures. They can serve well for several decades, in some case more than 50 years. There is no match with regard to long-term service and minimal wear to opposing teeth.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #goldenhour #oralhealth #beautiful #dentistry #gold #toothrepair #paulwilliamsdds

Because plaque build-up can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, daily flossing is highly recommended. You don't have to floss all of your teeth, just the ones you want to keep. #oralhygiene # oralhealth #flossing #dentalhygiene #cavityprevention #paulwilliamsdds

On a dental mission trip in Jamaica. Over the course of 2 weeks, we saw over 300 people. Some who walked miles and waited hours for dental care. Helping others is why I became a dentist. Helping others is the mission. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #smiles #dental #jamaica #dentistry #outreach #mission #healthlifestyle #healthcare #health #happy #tbt #paulwilliamsdds
