Happy Dental Fun Fact Friday! During your lifetime, your mouth will produce enough spit to fill a swimming pool. Think about how much you swallow every day. The human mouth makes an average of 10,000 gallons of saliva in a lifetime. That’s about the amount of a swimming pool. Now, how about taking a dip?
According to the Academy of General Dentistry, the average person only brushes 45 to 70 seconds a day. Dr. Cross recommends two to three minutes per day. How much time do you spend on brushing your teeth each day?
Dental Benefits, use them or lose them. Many insurance companies have a benefit deadline of December 31. Also, with Open Enrollment just around the corner, now is a great time to review your health plans to make sure they suit your needs.
Thanks for the high marks Jesse!

Here's a secret to keeping your teeth white & healthy: Go On A White-Teeth Diet. If you’re drinking red wine, black tea, cola or dark juices, expect the results to stain your teeth. Bottom line: Avoid dark beverages and switch to clear ones. Like switching from Pinot Noir to Pinot Grigio. How easy is that?
Finishing a meal with a piece of cheese or a glass of milk is a great way to help neutralize acids from damaging your teeth. Granted it may not be ideal for your waistline, but your teeth are going to love it.
