Plaque is wack — don’t let it stick around! Make flossing a part of your daily routine for a healthier smile.
If a child continues their finger or thumb-sucking habit past their toddler years, it can negatively affect the growth of their jaws and the position of their teeth.
There's no need to worry about a baby or toddler with a thumb-sucking habit or a pacifier. These are perfectly healthy self-soothing habits that help a child feel safe and happy in a new or stressful situation (and most situations are potentially new and stressful for them). And when Baby feels safe and happy, that's more relaxing for the parents too!
Eventually, these habits begin to do more harm than good. Most children will grow out of them on their own by age 4, but if not, vigorous thumb-sucking can change the way developing adult teeth will come in and can even alter the shape of their dental arches. If they're still showing no signs of stopping, it's time to consider intervening.
It can be easier to discourage a pacifier habit because simply trimming off the end will make it much less appealing until the child loses interest. It's trickier to discourage thumbsucking. Foul-tasting topical aids don't always work. We recommend being encouraging and praising successes over punishing failures. Try to provide activities that keep both hands too busy for thumbsucking. At night, socks over their hands can be a helpful tactic!

It does make sense!
Of course we smile when we feel happy, but there's evidence to show that the link between smiling and happiness might go both ways — the simple act of smiling can make us feel a little better! Even a fake smile releases endorphins (the feel-good hormone), so it might be worth smiling in the face of a rough day; it might just improve.
That simple endorphin boost from smiling gives us a lot of other benefits far beyond a mood boost. Endorphins reduce pain and relieve stress because they function a lot like painkillers. Unlike painkillers, however, they don't cause side effects!
Over time, endorphins can have cumulative positive effects on our health. The simple habit of smiling more can lead to long-term health benefits such as increased resilience against illnesses and a decreased risk of getting cancer. The better we are at managing our stress, the fewer stress-induced mutations our cells will go through, making cancer less likely.
Studies show that people perceive smiling faces to be younger and more attractive, but a lifetime of regular smiling and the benefits it brings can actually contribute to living longer. And it's easier to smile confidently with healthy teeth and gums!

Cavity free club.
As parents, every milestone a new baby reaches is incredibly exciting, and sometimes we can get impatient and even start worrying long before we should. To get out in front of that tendency, let's lay out the average schedule of baby teeth development and eruption.
The process of growing teeth (called odontogenesis) begins in week six of pregnancy and continues after the teeth have begun erupting because the roots still have some growing to do. Babies typically get their teeth two by two, starting with the bottom front teeth somewhere between six and ten months old. Next are usually the top front teeth between months eight and twelve. After that, they get their bottom lateral incisors, then the top lateral incisors.
You might expect the canines to be next, but nope! Next up are the lower molars, then the upper molars, and only then is it time for the canines. Completing the set of baby teeth is the second set of molars, which will usually arrive by age three.
There's no need to worry if baby teeth seem slow to arrive, but if there still aren't any by the 18-month mark, a dentist should take a look. No matter whether teeth are early or late, though, bring them to the dentist once the first tooth erupts!
Time for a fresh start! Remember to change your toothbrush if it's frayed or every 3 months for a healthier smile.

Anyone who swims or scuba dives frequently could encounter some unique dental issues if they aren't careful. Let's take a closer look at the big ones.
The longer teeth are exposed to acidic chlorine ions in pool water, the more likely they are to develop brown or yellow stains. These are called swimmer's calculus. As good as chlorine is at keeping a public pool sanitary for all swimmers, it can become acidic enough to affect tooth enamel. Swimmers can minimize this effect by swimming with their mouths closed as much as possible and drinking plenty of water to rinse traces of pool water off of their teeth.
Scuba divers have a different set of concerns, particularly "tooth squeeze" or barodontalgia. That feeling of pressure building up in the ears when diving to the bottom of the pool is very similar to what happens inside each tooth, especially teeth with untreated cavities or ineffective dental treatment. The pressure can build to such a degree that it can even fracture teeth, which is why we strongly encourage divers to visit the dentist before starting a new diving season.
Divers often also deal with ill-fitting scuba mouthpieces, which can lead to jaw strain and even TMD symptoms. We recommend getting a custom-fitted mouthpiece to protect the teeth and jaws.
If you’re wondering if you should floss today, the answer is YES! Daily flossing keeps your smile healthy and bright.
