Oral Health Slide Show
Oral health--learn what's behind your smile
There's more to oral health than flossing and brushing your teeth. Your mouth serves a variety of functions including eating, tasting, and talking. These are all good reasons to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Poor dentition can not only affect your ability to chew, it can affect the pronunciation of words. Furthermore, good oral hygiene can prevent tooth decay and bad breath. Learn more about proper oral health in this slide show from the Mayo Clinic.

Exercise, especially weight-bearing exercise, can strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis. This slide show will guide you through exercises intended to prevent or treat osteoporosis if done regularly. By strengthening your bones and muscles you also improve your posture and balance.
Root Canal Slide Show
Root Canal Treatment
The term "root canal" refers to the process of treating a badly damaged or infected tooth by cleaning out the canals inside it. Advances in dentistry have made it such that most people who undergo root canals feel little or no pain. In fact, it's likely that living with a decaying tooth will cause more pain than getting it repaired. This slide show guides you through the reasons a root canal may be necessary and the steps taken during a root canal procedure.
