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!

What Exactly Is Dental Floss?

Dental floss may be small, but it plays a big role in keeping your mouth healthy. Made from thin strands of nylon or Teflon, floss is designed to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth—places your toothbrush can’t reach.

Flossing daily helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. It might seem like a small step, but it’s one of the best things you can do for your oral health. With options like waxed, unwaxed, flavored, or even floss picks, there’s a type of floss for everyone. So go ahead—give your teeth the full clean they deserve!
