The Importance of Water for Your Teeth

But one thing that often gets overlooked is our water consumption. And I think we need to take a step back and realize what the bigger problem with this is: we depend on water to remain healthy, alert, and alive. Why are we not getting enough in the first place, let alone enough for our teeth to stay clean throughout the day?

Consuming over 70 to 80 ounces of water in a day is a great way to stay healthy, keep your immune system as boosted as it should be, and also to remain hydrated. The multitude of benefits that water has on your alertness, your sleeping patterns, your digestive health, your oral health, and your physical health is too much to comprehend. And yet, we find ourselves not getting enough of the essence of life on a daily basis.
