AnswerBank Answer:
My teeth are white, so are they healthy?
Of course it's great to have a white, clean smile. Having a daily routine of brushing and flossing goes along way in making this happen. However, good looks don't necessarily mean things are in a state of health. A healthy mouth should have:
- Pink gums that are not receding
- Aligned teeth that allow for proper chewing and speaking
- Lack of bad breath
- Pain free teeth and gums
- No signs of bleeding after brushing or flossing.
Cavities may still be present even if there are other outward signs of health.
