(The purpose is to focus on the key daily habits that promote healthy teeth and gums.)

—A Healthy Teeth Tip For Parents: Check children’s teeth closely once per month

October is National Dental Hygiene Month: An annual reminder to promote healthy teeth and gums and practice the key daily habits: Brushing, Flossing, Eating healthy, Use mouthwash, Chew sugar-free gum.

Taste buds are all over your mouth—not just your tongue.
Tastebuds Only Have A Lifespan Of 10-14 Days (sometimes more frequently, given their vulnerable position in the mouth).
Luckily, they grow back ASAP!

Want to Prevent Cavities In Your Family’s Teeth? Even the tiniest teeth can decay, so it’s best if positive oral health habits start early. Commit to making your house a “dental home.”

Dental technology has helped make cleaning at home easier. WATER FLOSSING: Your toothbrush can’t get into those tiny spaces where plaque forms, making water flossing a great tool to prevent gum disease.

YOUR FOOD MATTERS: Crunchy, firm vegetables that contain lots of water are great natural teeth cleaners because they stimulate the flow of saliva, which helps to scrub away food particles and bacteria.

Don’t Rush When You Brush!
