It's tempting to skip brushing your teeth after spending a long day at the beach with friends, eating hot dogs and drinking soda and having a great time. If you skip brushing your teeth because you're exhausted, you could wake up with a lot more bacteria forming in your mouth and an increased risk of developing cavities and other serious oral health issues. An easy solution is to bring a toothbrush with you wherever you go. There are numerous travel toothbrushes and toothpaste that can be packed into any bag you have. While having fun this summer, save your teeth and your wallet and pack a travel toothbrush. Your smile will thank you!

Eating fresh whole foods is great for your dental health! Remember, fresh fruits and veggies are available at the Brampton Farmers Market at Main and Queen in Downtown Brampton - open every Saturday from 7am - 1pm until October 10th.
