6 practical tips for avoiding the need for a porcelain dental Crown.

1.- Use dental floss. We all think our teeth are clean after we’ve brushed our teeth and/or have used mouthwash.

El Aguacero and Sima de Cotorras.

Both of these natural attractions are about 2 hours travelling time from San Cristobal.
