According to statistics, at least 30 million people in the U.S. are affected by an eating disorder. An eating disorder is a psychological illness that impacts an individual’s relationship with food, typically producing irregular eating habits.
The most prevalent eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These illnesses commonly affect individuals who have low self-worth and are very critical of their bodies. These individuals starve themselves, or they consume a certain amount of food and disgorge it later.

Good oral hygiene is essential. Taking adequate care of your teeth and gums every day is necessary for maintaining excellent dental health. Brushing your teeth at least twice daily, coupled with flossing and occasional use of mouthwash makes for a great practice. A well-maintained routine clears the mouth of bacteria that can cause tooth decay, infections, and poor oral conditions.
