1. Tooth enamel is the hardest bone in your body
Yes, it is. The enamel is the reason why teeth last forever. It also protects the inner part of the tooth called the dentin. To take care of your enamel, ensure you brush your teeth often and avoid biting into hard objects.

2. Your mouth makes around 25,000 gallons of saliva in a lifetime
Incredible, isn’t it? 25,000 gallons is equal to the amount of water in a standard Olympic size swimming pool. Saliva also has vital minerals that protect the enamel and prevent tooth decay.

3. Teeth started growing in your gum before you were born
Baby teeth started forming in your gum way before you were born. This explains the itchy gum kids have before the first tooth sprouts. Kids have 20 baby teeth while adults have 32 permanent teeth.

It’s Spring….
All of that pollen in the air can really get to you. Did you know that taking allergy medications can cause you to have a dry mouth? Also, did you know that an extra dry mouth can lead to an increase incidence of cavities? Don’t put it off… Schedule a visit with your dentist today to make sure your teeth are weathering well! 🦷😁

Happy Earth Day🌎😁

STORYTIME: When Dr. McKenzie was only a year old, her mother, Nellie, took Dr. McKenzie with her to a dental assisting class. Fast forward years later, Dr. McKenzie is now treating her mom. Maybe the dental assisting class sparked something in her to pursue dentistry!😁

Thank you for stopping by Mrs. Nellie! ❤️

In honor of Black History Month, we would like to commemorate Charles Edwin Bentley, DDS (1859 - 1929). Charles Edwin Bentley was an African-American dentist and civil rights activist. Dr. Bentley graduated dental school from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery in 1887. After graduation, he founded the Odontographic Society of Chicago, which went on to become the world’s largest local dental society and merged with Chicago Dental Society. Dr. Bentley is referred to as the “Father of the Oral Hygiene Movement” because he was a strong advocate on educating the public on the importance of good oral health. He accomplished this by giving multiple lectures, offering dental exams to students in public school, and free clinics to provide dental care for underserved communities.

Congratulations Christopher on completing on treatment! We are so happy for you 😁😁😁
