The Traveling Toothbrush, Mobile Dental Hygiene Practice

08/17/2025

I’ve watched this play out too many times: someone brushes off a little bleeding when they floss, only to find themselves decades later with a stent in their chest.

When gums get inflamed, that tight seal between the gum and tooth starts to loosen. This gives bacteria from your mouth a direct route into your blood.

Once they’re in, your immune system reacts. Inflammation goes up, your blood vessels take a hit, and over time, this can help plaque build up in your arteries.

That’s why people with gum disease are at a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes.

Healthy gums aren’t just about keeping your teeth—they’re about protecting your heart.

Have you ever had a dentist connect those dots for you? Or perhaps you’re a healthcare practitioner interested in the mouth-body connection?

Interesting fact of the day:

The blob of toothpaste on a toothbrush has a name. It's called a "nurdle" and there was once a lawsuit over which toothpaste company had the right to portray it.

👀 A New Vision for SoCal
Big things are coming into focus at Lestonnac — and we mean that literally.
In addition to our new Surgery Center, we’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our Mobile Vision Unit — made possible by the generosity of the David R. Clare and Margaret C. Clare Foundation.
This state-of-the-art clinic-on-wheels will deliver free eye exams and prescription glasses to kids and adults across Southern California — making sure clear sight is never out of reach.
Here’s the vision:
✨ 2,000+ free eye exams and glasses every year
✨ Serving communities 6 days a week
✨ Helping people see a brighter future
More details coming soon — but trust us... this is a sight to behold.

Advocating for Continued Care Coordination

Last Monday, several members of RDHAP Connect had the incredible opportunity to visit the Capitol, meeting with Assembly members and their representatives to shine a light on the urgent need for continued care coordination in all counties—especially in rural California and inner-city communities grappling with economic shifts and diminishing social services.

As RDHAPs, we are a small but mighty workforce, uniquely positioned to serve those who might otherwise go without care. This is why we must continue to network, support one another, and step into leadership roles—ensuring our presence remains strong where it’s needed most. Advocacy and action go hand in hand, and together, we can make a lasting impact.

Today was a success. Flying Doctors provided free medical and dental services at Yucca Valley high school. For those that missed out, don’t worry. You have another chance tomorrow.  Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Grabow for organizing the event and hosting a wonderful dinner.
