What You Eat Affects Your Teeth


Your diet plays a huge role in your dental health. Sugary snacks and acidic drinks (like soda or juice) can wear down enamel and feed harmful bacteria.

Want stronger teeth? Eat more:
  • Crunchy fruits and veggies
  • Cheese and yogurt (great sources of calcium)
  • Water (keeps your mouth clean and hydrated)
Healthy mouth, healthy body—it all starts with smart food choices.

The Power of Flossing – Small Step, Big Impact


Flossing isn’t just a “maybe”—it’s essential. Floss gets where your toothbrush can’t: between your teeth and under the gumline, where plaque loves to hide.

Daily flossing helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and even bad breath. It takes just a minute, but the payoff lasts a lifetime.

Your gums will thank you!

Can Oil Pulling Replace Brushing Teeth? Here's What the Science Says


This video goes over the truth about oil pulling and whether it can actually replace brushing your teeth. As a registered dental hygienist, I break down what the current evidence says, share potential benefits and risks, and explain why oil pulling should only be considered an addition—not a substitute—for brushing and flossing. We also talk about the differences between anecdotal claims and evidence-based care, and why that distinction matters in oral health.

Brushing Basics – Are You Doing It Right?


We all know brushing is important, but how you brush makes a big difference. Dentists recommend brushing twice a day for two minutes, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

Be sure to brush all surfaces—front, back, and chewing areas—and don’t forget your tongue! It helps fight bad breath and removes bacteria.

A good brushing routine is your first step to a healthier smile.

Best Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth (And What to AVOID!)


This video explains how sensitivity-relief toothpaste works and how to find the best one for your individual needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all 'best' toothpaste for sensitivity. As long as it has the ADA seal of acceptance or contains sensitivity-relief ingredients (as discussed in the video), you're on the right track! Try a few to find one you enjoy the taste of—it'll make brushing for the full two minutes a lot easier.

A Quick History of Dental Floss


Believe it or not, flossing has been around for over 200 years! The first recorded mention came in the early 1800s when a New Orleans dentist named Levi Spear Parmly recommended using a silk thread to clean between teeth.

Fast forward to the 1890s, and dental floss started being mass-produced by Johnson & Johnson. Over time, silk was replaced by more durable materials like nylon, and floss became a staple in oral hygiene.

Today, flossing is a simple daily habit with centuries of history behind it—and your gums are better off because of it!
