Healthy Mouth Monday 🦷

Snacking doesn’t have to sabotage your child’s smile! The right foods can actually help protect and strengthen their teeth.

Try adding these tooth-friendly snacks into your routine:
✔️ Yogurt
✔️ Cheese
✔️ Nuts & nut butters
✔️ Raw veggies
✔️ Raw fruit
✔️ Hummus
✔️ Edamame
✔️ Popcorn

These options help support strong enamel, stimulate saliva (nature’s cavity fighter), and keep sugar exposure lower between meals.

Small snack swaps = big smiles 😁

The first modern root canal instrument was developed in 1838 by American dentist Edwin Maynard, who crafted tools from watch springs to access tooth pulp. Gutta-percha, a material still used today to fill canals, was introduced for the procedure in 1847. These advancements shifted treatment from extraction to tooth preservation.

Tongue scraping is one of the easiest upgrades to your oral routine.

Overnight, bacteria build up on your tongue—brushing alone doesn’t remove it all. A quick scrape can help reduce bad breath, improve taste, and leave your mouth feeling truly clean.

It takes less than 30 seconds, but makes a big difference 😛

Nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") was discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1772, but its dental use began in 1844 when dentist Horace Wells observed its anesthetic properties. After noticing a person injured under its influence felt no pain, Wells used it for tooth extractions. It became a staple in painless dentistry in the 1860s.
