" I&amp;#x27;d rather clean my bathroom (or yours!) than go to the dentist to have a cavity filled (not crazy about dentist&amp;#x27;s offices), so I&amp;#x27;ll take any advice to keep these teeth of mine cavity-free ... like this interesting little tidbit that I heard recently.**** Did you know that if you&amp;#x27;re right-handed, you may be more likely to get cavities on the right side of your mouth? (Same correlation with lefties and cavities on the left side.) According to my mom&amp;#x27;s dentist, we tend to channel food and beverages--subconsciously--through one preferred side or the other (depending on our hand preference). The takeaway: When you&amp;#x27;re brushing and flossing--do a good overall job, of course--but pay special attention to the side of your mouth that you tend to prefer. Makes sense, doesn&amp;#x27;t it? I&amp;#x27;ve definitely had more cavities on the right side of my mouth than my left, and I&amp;#x27;m right handed. How about you?
