Flossing: Small Habit, Big Impact


Flossing may seem like a small step, but it plays a big role in oral health. It cleans between teeth and below the gumline, where toothbrush bristles can’t reach.

Daily flossing helps prevent cavities and supports healthy gums. Once it becomes part of your routine, it only takes a minute or two each day.

The Truth About Sugar and Teeth


Sugar isn’t the enemy—but too much of it can cause trouble for your teeth. Bacteria in the mouth feed on sugar and produce acids that weaken enamel over time.

Enjoying sweets in moderation and rinsing with water afterward can help reduce the impact. Pairing good habits with regular dental care keeps your smile balanced and bright.

I Changed My Morning Teeth Routine (As a Dental Hygienist)


In this video, I’m walking you through my morning oral hygiene routine as a dental hygienist, step-by-step! I’ll show you exactly how I care for my teeth when I wake up, including when I brush in the morning (before or after breakfast), how I clean between my teeth using floss picks and a proxabrush, and whether mouthwash fits into a morning routine. I’ll also explain why my morning routine looks different from my nighttime routine—what matters most for fresh breath (hint hint can't forget tongue scraping), enamel protection, and gum health at the start of the day. If you’ve ever wondered the best order for brushing, flossing, and eating breakfast, or want a realistic, hygienist-approved morning routine you can actually stick to, this video will help you feel confident starting your day with healthier teeth and gums.

Why Saliva Is Your Mouth’s Superpower


Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums. It helps rinse away food particles, neutralize acids, and support digestion.

When your mouth is dry, bacteria can grow more easily. Drinking plenty of water and chewing sugar-free gum can help keep saliva flowing and your mouth feeling fresh.

Plaque: The Sneaky Villain


Plaque is a soft, sticky film made up of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. You usually can’t see it, but it’s always there, especially along the gumline and between teeth.

If plaque isn’t removed, it can harden into tartar, which is much harder to clean at home. Consistent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings help keep plaque from turning into a bigger problem.

Your Teeth Are Stronger Than You Think


Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body—even stronger than bone. It acts like a shield, protecting your teeth from daily wear caused by chewing, temperature changes, and acids from food and drinks.

While enamel is incredibly tough, it can’t repair itself once it’s damaged. That’s why brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and visiting the dentist help keep enamel strong and your smile healthy.
