Dr. Jolee Roberts, DDS Urges New Approach to Oral Health: "It's More Than Just Flossing"

New Jersey, US, 23rd July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Dr. Jolee Roberts, DDS, a respected New Jersey-based general and cosmetic dentist, is using her recent in-depth interview to challenge conventional thinking about oral health. Known for her warm approach and focus on patient education, Dr. Roberts is now calling attention to simple yet powerful daily habits that go beyond traditional advice.

"People think oral health starts and ends with brushing and flossing," says Dr. Roberts. "But in truth, hydration, mindful eating, and breathing habits play a huge role too."

In her widely read interview, Dr. Roberts shares personal stories and insights from her years of experience. She highlights overlooked habits-like drinking water throughout the day and eating fiber-rich foods-that naturally clean teeth and support healthy gums. According to the CDC, nearly 47.2% of adults aged 30 and older have some form of gum disease, yet many overlook easy preventive steps.

"Hydration matters just as much as brushing," says Dr. Roberts. "I always remind patients to keep sipping water and eat crunchy fruits and veggies like apples and carrots. These small choices have a major impact on oral health."

She also addresses dental anxiety, encouraging patients to explore advanced treatments like same-day crowns and laser dentistry, which offer faster, less stressful care.

One of her most unique perspectives? The link between breathing and oral health.

"I recommend the book Breath by James Nestor to almost everyone," she explains. "It's eye-opening to realize that how you breathe affects your teeth, your gums, even your jaw."

Dr. Roberts' approach comes at a critical time. According to the American Dental Association, only about 64% of adults visited a dentist in the past year, with many citing fear or cost as barriers.

In her practice, she focuses on education and empowerment, giving patients tools to take charge of their health.

"I always tell people: start with a 10-minute walk in the morning, sip water throughout the day, and find small ways to care for your body," she says. "Oral health doesn't have to be complicated."

Take Action: Small Habits, Big Impact

Dr. Roberts encourages everyone to:

Drink water regularly throughout the day.

Incorporate crunchy, fibrous foods into meals.

Take short outdoor walks to lower stress and improve focus.

Learn about the connection between breathing and oral health.

Ask their dentist about preventive technologies and personalized care plans.
