Groundhogs Day Fun Fact- Groundhogs have 18 chewing teeth and 4 incisors. Their incisor teeth average about 4 inches in length and continue to grow about 1/16 of an inch a week! To keep the growth of their teeth under control, groundhogs are constantly gnawing on leaves, grass, trees, and roots! We hope you all have a very Happy Groundhogs Day!... #happygroundhogday #funfacts #animalfacts #teethfacts #dentalfacts #groundhogsday #dentist #themoreyouknow

Along with daily brushing and flossing, keep your teeth happy by choosing snacks that promote tooth health! Some great snack ideas include: apples, carrots, cheese, yogurt, plain nuts, celery, and water. Try to avoid snacks like: pretzels, crackers, candy, soda and juice. #healthysnacks #healthyteeth #oralhealth #happyteeth #dental #dentistry #dentaloffice #themoreyouknow #brushandfloss

Many patients wonder about which brand of toothpaste is best... and we tell them, as long as it has fluoride, it’s good! Fluoride helps protect against cavities. #toothpaste #fluoride #cavities #dental #dentalfacts #brushyourteeth #protectyourteeth
