Why are we supposed to showcase our teeth with a huge grin on our face while taking pictures?

It is because teeth can enhance our smile. It adds a jovial feature to our personality. We must take care of our teeth otherwise bacteria will feed on our enamel making our teeth weak and our gums sore. Before toothpaste was invented, people used natural methods for healthy teeth such as charcoal, meswak stick, ash, baking soda, honey etc. But as we advanced, technology advanced too, and now we have numerous artificial methods to whiten teeth, straighten teeth, clean our teeth and fix a fake one when we’ve lost one! Here are the best ways to care for your teeth.
