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.

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.

A little more fun, a little more love, a little more light every night. That's the joy of Hanukkah! 🕎

Picture it: You’ve had a late night out with your friends or family, and finally get home in the early hours of the morning. You’re overtly exhausted, and even the simple task of brushing your teeth seems too strenuous. Would it be bad to skip a night of brushing, and just go to bed? 🤔

Short answer is yes. When you skip a night of brushing your teeth, you’re inviting bacteria in your mouth to feast on the debris and release acids that can ultimately lead to tooth decay and gum disease. 🚫

No thank you! 👏

Hot cocoa bombs are all the rage! No matter how you take your hot cocoa, it has a ton of sugar in it. Liquid sugars always tend to be worse on your teeth than other holiday sweets because they can seep into every nook and cranny.

If you and your family indulge in cocoa, make an event of it and keep it at a minimum. Drinking it every day will jump-start your family’s next trip to our office!

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque to build up on the teeth and harden. Periodontal disease can lead to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss!
