Healthy gums are part of a healthy body!
When it comes to your mouth’s health, it’s not all about how straight your teeth are or how bright your smile is. You can’t forget about your gums! Even if you’re cavity-free and have the pearliest chompers in town, that doesn’t mean you’re immune to gum disease. Since it’s usually painless, most people have no idea that anything is wrong with their gums.

What you eat matters
While these hard candies seem harmless, eat too many and the constant exposure to sugar can be harmful to your teeth. Hard candies also put your teeth at risk because in addition to being full of sugar, they can also trigger a dental emergency such as a broken or chipped tooth. Better alternative? Chew sugarless gum that carries the ADA Seal.

Brushing and flossing are the best ways to help prevent cavities, but it’s not always easy to clean every nook and cranny of your teeth – especially those back teeth you use to chew (called molars). Molars are rough, uneven and a favorite place for leftover food and cavity-causing bacteria to hide.

If you love incredible Black History Month accounts on how black people rose from slavery to success, this man will surely impress you. Black History Month sees lots of celebration of freedom stalwarts, so commemorating this dental pioneer is ideal, as he was the son of a slave. Born in 1846, he started working for a dentist as an ordinary employee, before working his way up to the role of dental assistant. His acceptance into Harvard at the age of 22 was groundbreaking for colored students. He was the first black to graduate with a Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the university’s dental school.

Celebrating Black History Month: Trailblazers in dentistry
Dentistry, one of the world’s oldest medical professions with a history dating all the way back to 5000 B.C., wasn’t modernized until the 1700s. Throughout this period of modernization, African Americans experienced great difficulty in seeking dental care, and finding dentists of color proved to be even more difficult.
