When it comes to oral health, do you know the basics? Abilene Dental breaks down some common misconceptions about caring for your smile.

The American Dental Association recently launched a new website and surveyed the American population on what they considered to be basic dental health issues.

So how did America do? Well, start with yourself. Do you know how often you're supposed to change your tooth brush each year? Does sugar really cause cavities? At what age is your child ready for their first dental visit?

These are just a few of the questions from the A.D.A. survey and the results were not so good.

"We rated D!" explains Dr. Christie.

To find out how your answers rank amongst the average, see the attached article or visit mouthhealthy.org to learn more about some basic oral health knowledge.
