Congratulations to Liaw, the winner of the free electric toothbrush for the month! Thanks for the wonderful Google review!
Coconuts are known as a natural anti-bacterial food that can help boost your oral health by limiting the accumulation of harmful oral bacteria.
Cavities, also known as tooth decay, is considered one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, which is why daily brushing and twice a year dental visits are so important!
The answer to our trivia question is... 1939! Here is what one of the first electric tooth brushes looked like back then!
Tooth Trivia Thursday! 🦷
When was the first electric toothbrush made?
1) 1961
2) 1939
3) 1942
Guess in the comments below and the answer will be posted later today! Thanks for playing 😁
People who use tobacco are between two and seven times more likely to develop gum disease due to their habit.
Thanks again to Liaw for being an awesome patient! We hope you enjoy your new electric toothbrush!! 😁🦷
Amid the current pandemic, our lives have changed in more ways than one. However, clenching your teeth, poor sleep, and frequent snacking with no trips to the dentist in sight can wreak havoc on your teeth. So, make sure to implement a solid daily oral care routine at home and speak to your dentist about how you can safely attend your biannual visit.
And the answer to the trivia question is...
40%! If you aren't flossing that means you are not cleaning about 40% of the tooth surface. We always recommend flossing at least once per day with a woven or expanding floss.
Tooth Trivia Thursday! 🦷
What percentage of the tooth does flossing help clean?
1) 10%
2) 25%
3) 40%
Guess in the comments below and the answer will be posted later today! Thanks for playing 😁
Did you know a 32-ounce sports drink contains between 14 and 19 teaspoons of sugar? That’s roughly six times the recommended amount for kids and teens! To protect your child’s oral health and keep them hydrated, opt for water instead.
Your tongue takes up a large amount of real estate in your mouth, so it is important not to neglect it! To keep it clean and bacteria-free, use your toothbrush or a tongue scraper to clean it from front to back during your oral hygiene routine.
Brushing twice a day does wonders for your oral health, but alone it only cleans about 60% of your teeth. To clean the remaining 40% of plaque and tartar, you should floss daily! That way, you can effectively clean the areas of your mouth that the bristles cannot reach.
And the answer to the trivia question is...
4 hours! It only takes 4 hours for plaque to begin accumulating on the tooth after you brush. It also only takes 48 hours for the plaque to turn into tartar, which is the calcified build-up that needs to be removed by the hygienist. That is why we always recommend brushing 2-3 times per day. Thanks for playing! 😁
Tooth Trivia Thursday! 🦷
How long does it take for plaque to form on the teeth after brushing?
1) 4 hours
2) 30 minutes
3) 1 day
Guess in the comments below and the answer will be posted later today! Thanks for playing 😁
A New Orleans dentist introduced the concept of flossing in 1815 when he offered patients a strand of silk thread to clean between their teeth. By 1882, factories were producing unwaxed, silk dental floss for mass use.
We did our annual medical emergency training to ensure we have the confidence and capability to effectively and efficiently handle any situation. Each of us acted out different scenarios while the rest of the team responded. We care so much about our patients and always want you to feel safe and well cared for at our office! 😁
Tooth Trivia Thursday! 🦷
Did you know that just like your finger tips, your tongue and teeth prints are unique to you!
Before the invention of toothpaste, people used charcoal, chalk, ashes, honey, and lemon juice to clean their teeth!
Happy Halloween!
Ever wonder if you need a biteguard or why we have recommended one for you? Check out the video below where Dr. Zimm explains why biteguards are so important!
There are over 100 million bacteria in one drop of saliva!
Aspen Dental Care in Fort Collins is looking for a great assistant to join our team! We are in need of a dental assistant who can act as a floater around our office: calling/scheduling patients, running sterilization, doing room turn-around, and laundry. Ideally we would love for the person to have 1 year of educational experience or job experience in the dental field. Please email resumes to: drzimm@aspen-dentist.com or message me directly. Thanks!

Now is a great time to get your dental check-up and your teeth cleaned before the holidays! During the month of November, new patients who schedule their exam with Dr. Zimm will receive a free electric toothbrush! (*valued at $110, mention this when scheduling). Call (970) 482-3166 to get scheduled today! 😁
Recent research found that chewing sugar-free gum after your meal can encourage the production of saliva, remove food particles, protect your teeth from decay, and give you minty-fresh breath. So, don’t hesitate to opt for a stick or two until you can get to your oral hygiene routine!
6% of Americans said they would share their toothbrush with a celebrity!
Check out who the winner is for the free electric toothbrush!
Candy-based holidays, like Halloween, can wreak havoc on your oral health. Fortunately, you can protect your teeth by eating a healthy meal beforehand. Not only can it coat your teeth, but it can also increase the production of saliva, which helps fight cavities. Just make sure to follow your candy consumption with a good brushing and flossing!
Did you know your toothbrush is home to more than 100 million bacteria? To keep your teeth and gums healthy, the American Dental Association recommends replacing it every three to four months.

From using their teeth to cut ribbons to opening a bottle of wine, people are hard on their teeth during the holidays. So, it’s not surprising that many patients experience cracks or chips in their teeth during the winter season. To prevent this from happening to you, grab the scissors or the bottle opener!
Congratulations to our hygienist Jordan! She recently graduated from CSU with a degree in psychology. Here at Aspen Dental Care, we always support continuing your education and it is so important! Way to go Jordan! 😁

We have a new way of doing our tooth-colored fillings with Bioclear! This method starts with removing plaque and biofilm from the tooth. Next Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Zimm will prepare the tooth using a new design that will distribute less destructive forces on the tooth, creating a longer lasting filling. When we fill the tooth, your new filling will have a more anatomical shape that will make it easier for you to clean. Next time you are in for a filling, ask us about Bioclear!

Aspen Dental Care updated their business hours.
Another one of our safety protocols we implemented due to COVID-19 is UVC light and HEPA filters in our HVAC system. UVC light inactivates microorganisms and airborne pathogens (such as viruses). Polar ionization in the air duct system cause particles to clump together and are then captured by the HEPA filters. The result - a cleaner and healthier air environment!

Chewing gum was introduced to America following the battle of the Alamo. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna who led the attack against the Alamo also created a type of chewing gum using the sap of sapodilla trees. Sugar-free gums, like this early version, remove food particles from teeth and may reduce the risk for cavities.
Kicking some bad habits can reduce your risk for oral health concerns. People who eat ice, bite their nails, or chew on pencils are more likely to see tooth chips or cracks. Opening packages and cracking nuts can also cause unnecessary damage.

Did you know that you should be using about 18 inches, or a foot and a half, of floss every time? Most people use far less, but that just causes you to redistribute bacteria throughout the mouth.

Have you ever wondered why none of President George Washington’s portraits show him smiling? It’s probably because he had no teeth! By the time he was elected as president, he only had one natural tooth left, which he lost by the age of 57.
Using the wrong toothbrush can do more harm than good. Toothbrushes with hard or medium bristles can scratch away your enamel and cause sensitive teeth, while the bristles on toothbrushes that have been used for more than three months can trap and redistribute bacteria in your mouth.
Our office participated in Colorado Mission of Mercy! (COMOM). Every year, COMOM provides free dental services to patients in a particular Colorado community. This year due to COVID-19, the two-day event could not be held in person. Instead, we did it here in our office! We love supporting our patients and providing long lasting smiles and a healthy mouth!

When you get a cut or bruise on your skin, you can expect your body to heal itself. However, the same can’t be said for your teeth! Once a tooth is cracked or develops a cavity, the only way to fix it is to see your dentist. Putting off any dental work you need will just allow the problem to get worse!
