I'm here again. To show my activeness as a steemingzen and support community programs. One of them is by participating in the contest. The theme of this contest is about dental health. What an Interesting contest on the initiative of @fabio2641.

How to maintain dental health? An easy question but sometimes difficult to apply. Because we often find people who think trivial and ignore their dental health. Based on my experience, it turns out that when someone is having a toothache then that person becomes aware of the importance of taking care of dental health.

Today I will share general tips about maintaining healthy teeth. In addition, I will also share about some of the benefits of herbal ingredients that can be used to maintain the health of our human teeth.
