False! Brushing alone misses up to 40% of your tooth surfaces. That’s like washing only 60% of your body! Flossing isn’t just about removing food. It’s also about preventing gum disease, cavities, and even bad breath. Floss daily for cleaner and healthier teeth!

Just because it says "sugar-free" doesn't mean it's safe for your teeth. Acidic additives in many diet drinks and snacks can still wear down enamel—slowly and silently. The key is knowing what to look for. Give us a call at (252) 443-9097 to learn more!

Brushing too hard can do more harm than good. Scrubbing aggressively doesn’t mean cleaner teeth. It can actually wear down enamel and irritate your gums. The trick is to use a soft-bristle toothbrush in gentle circular motions and brush for a full 2 minutes. Think of brushing like massaging rather than scrubbing. If your toothbrush bristles fray quickly or your gums bleed often, it might be time to rethink your technique.

Did you know some foods can naturally support dental health? Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples, carrots, and celery help remove plaque and stimulate saliva to neutralize acids. Cheese also strengthens enamel by balancing pH and providing calcium.

Although these foods can give your smile a boost, remember that brushing twice a day and flossing daily are essential! Have questions? Call us at (252) 443-9097.
