"When I encourage people to lead a healthier lifestyle, I remind them thatit's not just about weight loss or one area of your health -- it's about wholebody wellness. All of our systems are connected and the health of one areamay impact another, including the health of your mouth," explains Michaels."There are many simple changes people can make that offer amazing results.For example, switch from a regular manual toothbrush to a power toothbrushsuch as Vitality Precision Clean. It reduces up to twice as much plaque andleaves your teeth feeling clean and smooth everyday. Plus, I love knowingthat I'm keeping my mouth healthy in between dental visits."

-- Recruit support. Whether it's in the form of a trainer, a workoutbuddy or even your dental hygienist -- a little bit of help goes a long way.This helps to keep you accountable and when the going gets tough you will havesomeone there to help motivate you.
-- Don't just go through the motions. Even brushing your teeth is aninvestment in your long-term oral health but don't just do it mindlessly.Pick toothpastes that provide oral health benefits or a toothbrush thatnotifies you when to switch quadrants of your mouth or gives your feedback soyou can stay engaged through the experience.

Choose your oral care products in the same way.
