HERE’S SOMETHING THAT’S pretty important and we think more people should know about: the most common disease in the world is tooth decay. Luckily, it’s also the most preventable! Prevent tooth decay by brushing twice a day and flossing daily! #dentalfact #funfact #dentalhealth
WOW, THAT’S MORE than many people would expect! It’s so important to floss daily in order to clean 100% of tooth surfaces and protect teeth from plaque and tooth decay. #flossing #makesuretofloss #healthysmile

WISHING ALL OF YOU a safe and happy Halloween, from our family to yours! #halloween #halloween2020 #staysafe
IT’S THAT SIMPLE! Easy changes to your routine like flossing daily, using an alcohol-free mouthwash, or brushing for a full two minutes, twice a day, can really make a difference to your oral health. #oralhealth #goodhabits #healthysmile
HALLOWEEN TENDS TO come with a lot of sugar. We don’t want any of our patients getting post-Halloween cavities, so let’s just take a minute and go over the best and worst types of treats for teeth. Anything hard, sticky, or sour is going to be bad for teeth. Hard candy takes a while to dissolve, which means the teeth are exposed to sugar for a long time. Sticky candy is like breakfast in bed for bacteria, adhering to the teeth and pushing the sugar right up against the en...amel and gum tissue. Sour candy contains acid as well as sugar, so it’s doubly bad for teeth. Chocolate is on the good end of the oral health spectrum, and the darker, the better. Chocolate contains flavonoids and polyphenols, compounds that limit oral bacteria, fight bad breath, and slow tooth decay. Dark chocolate has more of these compounds and their benefits are less offset by sugar than in sweeter milk chocolate. The best candy option for teeth, unsurprisingly, is sugar-free gum sweetened with xylitol. Other types of candy that use xylitol aren’t very common (yet), so it might be trickier to find, but xylitol gum is a great sweet treat to aim for when trick-or-treating. Xylitol not only doesn’t feed oral bacteria, it actually hurts it! #healthysmile #halloween #halloweentreats #oralhealth #sugar

SEVERAL ANCIENT CULTURES, from ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, and lasting all the way up to early modern England, blamed cavities and toothaches on a nefarious creature called a tooth worm. Gross! (But, more importantly, false.) We still aren’t sure where this theory came from, but it could be as simple as that they looked at diseased dental pulp and mistakenly thought it was a worm that had bored holes through the tooth. It wasn’t until the early years of the Age of ...Enlightenment that pioneering dentists like Pierre Fauchard debunked the tooth worm theory. Still, they were kind of on the right track. It’s true that tiny organisms cause tooth decay but those organisms are bacteria, not parasitic worms. People didn’t have microscopes to be able to observe bacteria back then, so they gave it their best guess. Points for effort? Even though their theory about the cause was wrong, tooth decay wasn’t a widespread problem historically until sugar (oral bacteria’s favorite food) became a readily available commodity. That’s why we in the modern dental health community recommend cutting back on sugar consumption and limiting it to mealtimes! #toothdecay #history #dentalhistory
