Great job guys!
Do you know about our referral game? Our assistants have "care to share" brushes. When you share this brush to a friend or family member and they come in, you will receive a $25 gift card to a local restaurant!
Even babies without teeth need dental care, too. This is to ensure that bacteria and sugar that cause cavities don't stay too long in their gums.

Are you brushing your teeth right?
Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in both children and adults, even though it’s almost entirely preventable. Make sure you are brushing for 2 minutes, twice a day, and don’t forget about flossing!

To Drink Or Not To Drink? That Is The Question.
People who drink 3 or more cans of soda on a daily basis have more than a 62% chance of tooth loss or getting tooth decay, than those who don't drink soda.
Think your toothbrush is clean? Our mouths contain bacteria, so keeping it covered or stored in a closed container might lead to problems. Let it air dry in a holder that allows it to stand up.

Best dentist without a doubt. I took my 3 year old in who hates the dentist, he wasn’t a fan of having his teeth worked on or looked at. But they were so Patient and caring for him during his meltdown. They were able to get us back quickly to get his cavities fixed. He now Loves going to the dentist just to see the people. He’s still not a fan of getting His teeth checked but I can’t blame him. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone looking for one!

It's a good idea to throw your toothbrush away or the toothbrush of anyone in your home that gets a cold or flu. Any other toothbrushes that may have come into contact with the contaminated toothbrush should also be tossed.
One more week until the big man comes...
Creating a brushing playlist for the kids will make the routine more fun. We suggest putting their favorite songs that are 2 minutes long.
Brushing your teeth harder doesn't necessarily mean your teeth will be cleaner. In the long run this will only damage your enamel.
Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday honoring African culture and traditions. It falls between December 26 and January 1 each year. Maulana Karenga, an African-American leader, proposed this observance and it was first celebrated between December 1966 and January 1967.

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.
It wouldn’t be until the 1800s when three dental pioneers — a former seamstress and two sons of former slaves — paved the way, setting groundbreaking strides in the field for black Americans. Those three individuals are Robert Tanner Freeman, George F. Grant and Ida Gray Nelson Rollins.

Did you know? You can also store your toothbrush in a 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H202) solution that is changed daily. Make sure to use enough solution to cover the bristles - this can keep your toothbrush disinfected.

How do you squeeze your toothpaste? Do you squeeze it from the middle or roll it from the end?
As soon as your baby's first tooth appears you should start teaching them about brushing their teeth. Start your baby off with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste (like the size of a grain of rice). As they get older (3-6 years old), you can increase the amount of toothpaste to the size of a pea.
