Did you notice that the aisle in the store with toothpaste and tooth related products seems to be growing every year?

Research has recently found that licorice could have the ability to battle cavity-causing bacteria, and the dental health care specialists at Atrium Family Dental, your New Lenox dentist, would certainly like to weigh in on the problem and help you make an educated choice.
