Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of good oral hygiene!

At Gentle Dental Smile, we recommend that our patients visit us for a cleaning at least every 6 months. Schedule your regular cleaning with us today: 630-289-4840.

Your teeth are tougher than you think! Tooth enamel (the shiny, white enamel that covers your teeth) is even stronger than bone. 💪

Although your tooth enamel is durable, our teeth can’t repair themselves like all other tissues in our bodies. When damaged, they must be repaired by a skilled dentist using caps, crowns, fillings or veneers. 🦷

That’s where Gentle Dental Smile comes in. Contact us today for all your restorative dentistry needs: 630-289-4840.

We use them twice a day, everyday, but when did toothbrushes start becoming our tools for oral health? 🤔

Most historians agree that the first toothbrushes—which were frayed twigs—appeared as early as ancient Babylonian and Egyptian times between 3500-3000 B.C. From there, it’s believed that early Chinese oral health advocates created the first natural bristle toothbrushes with pig's hair.

The evolution continued through the 18th and 19th centuries before the design of the modern toothbrush came to be.

Did you know that President's Day never falls on the actual birthday of any American president? Four presidents—George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—were all born in February, but their birthdays all come either too early or too late to coincide with Presidents Day.

Happy President’s Day from Gentle Dental Smile.

Did you know that the ADA recommends having a dental check-up twice a year? ✌️ Each time you skip a check-up, you risk damage to your teeth and gums. Repeatedly skipping your dental cleanings can result in tooth decay, tooth death, gum disease, and more.

Start this season off on the right foot with a dental check-up with Gentle Dental Smile. Give our practice a call to schedule your dental check-up today: 630-289-4840.

Love, kisses, and Valentine's wishes. Happy Valentine's Day, from Gentle Dental Smile! 🍫💝

Floss picks vs. traditional floss: which is better? 🤔

While floss picks can be more convenient, they can spread bacteria more since they use the same piece of floss over and over. However, if you have arthritis or another condition that restricts the movement in your arms and hands, floss picks could be an easier way to floss!

February is Black History Month! As the field of dentistry progresses, let’s acknowledge some Black trailblazers who were crucial in the advancement of dental practices.

🦷 Ida Gray Nelson was the first African American woman dentist, receiving her degree in 1980 and opening her own practice in Cincinnati, Ohio.

🦷 Robert Tanner Freeman was the first African American to receive a dental degree in the U.S in the year 1869.

🦷 George Grant was the second African American to acquire his dental degree. He treated patients with cleft palates and developed a prosthesis to help patients speak properly.

Black Americans continue to break barriers, create change, and lead the charge for equality, in both the field of dentistry and beyond!

When's the best time to floss? The ADA recommends brushing twice a day and cleaning between teeth with floss (or another interdental cleaner) once a day. Some people prefer to floss in the evening before bedtime so that the mouth is clean while sleeping. Others prefer to floss after their midday meal.
