Flossing once… the day before your cleaning? We see you. 👀
Daily flossing removes plaque where your brush can’t reach—and yes, your hygienist knows when you fake it.
No shame, just start today.

Biting into your popsicle shouldn’t feel like an electric shock.

Mouthwash is a great team player—but not a solo act.
It freshens breath, yes—but it doesn't replace brushing or flossing.
Think of it as the minty backup dancer in your oral care routine. 💃🪥

Sweet fact: Chocolate is actually one of the least harmful candies for your teeth. 🍫
It melts fast, washes away easily, and doesn’t stick around like those clingy gummy bears. (Still—don’t skip the brush!)

Ribs, chips, soda... yum for you, rough on your teeth.
Sticky sauces + sugars = a plaque party. Rinse with water after eating and brush 30 minutes later (yes, later—immediate brushing can do more harm!).
Keep your summer smile sizzlin’, not suffering. 🔥

Toothbrushes are the first line of defense in maintaining oral health. According to the American Dental Association, brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste is essential for removing plaque and preventing cavities and gum disease. But equally important? Using the right toothbrush—and knowing when to replace it.
Use a soft-bristled brush – The ADA recommends soft bristles for effective cleaning that doesn’t damage enamel or irritate gums.
Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months – Or sooner if the bristles are frayed. The ADA emphasizes that worn bristles lose cleaning effectiveness.
Manual or powered? – Both can be effective. However, some studies supported by the ADA have shown powered brushes may offer benefits for certain patients, including those with orthodontic appliances or dexterity challenges.

Q: Why did the dentist take up gardening?
A: Because they love to fill cavities! 🌱🦷
🗣️ Got a better dental joke? We’re all ears (and molars).

Why did the tooth go to the dentist?
👉 Because it couldn't handle the drill! 😂
But seriously — your enamel is the hardest substance in your body (yep, even tougher than bones!) 💪
So give it the care it deserves with regular checkups! 😁🪥
