HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE! Happy National Hydration Day. Water is so important not only to your overall health, but to your teeth! Since water contains no sugar, it washes away the food you eat and any debris left behind, leaving nothing for bacteria to eat. It also dilutes the acid in your mouth that wants to destroy your enamel. The fluoride in the water also provides your teeth with a coating to defend against acids and reverse tooth decay! The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:
• About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men

• About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women

My experience with Carolina Braces has been a five-star experience from day one. Dr. Kent is very compassionate, extremely funny, very knowledgeable, and professional. Mrs. June treated me like I was her very own daughter. Mrs. June is caring, loving, thoughtful, empathetic, friendly, compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable. I loved my experience with Carolina Braces and the entire staff. They always treated me with kindness and respect. You could always leave your visit with a confident smile, a cookie, or ice cream. I received birthday wishes, Thanksgiving blessings, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year greeting cards on special occasions. I highly recommend Carolina Braces at 100 Sawmill Rd. Raleigh, NC 27615. Thank you, Dr. Kent and your team, for making my smile even more beautiful!
