Queen Elizabeth I brushed her teeth with sugar. Sugar causes cavities is common knowledge now. But it wasn’t always so. In fact, sugar used to be a food that only the wealthy could afford to consume. Reportedly, Queen Elizabeth I consumed an excessive amount of sugar regularly, and she even brushed her teeth with sugar paste or honey. This is what caused her terrible tooth decay!

Did you know the most popular toothbrush color is blue? It's a fact! Are you among those with a blue toothbrush? Take a look around and see if this little fact is true in your household. What color is your toothbrush and why did you pick it? What color was your last toothbrush? What about the others in your home? Does anyone have a blue toothbrush?

Smiling is considered a contagious expression. When you smile, people around you are more likely to smile as well. This can help you feel good about spreading cheer to family members, friends, acquaintances and even total strangers.

Putting a smile on your face can boost your mood in moments. Studies on smiling show that it results in your brain releasing more endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel good!

Oral health plays a big role in keeping your kids healthy and happy! Be sure your child is brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. Instilling good habits at an early age can help create life-long healthy lifestyles.

Brush your child's teeth twice a day - in the morning and just before bed. Spend 2 minutes brushing, concentrating a good portion of this time on the back molars. This is an area where cavities often first develop. Take turns brushing with your child, as they may want to help.

Are your kids brushing with the right amount of toothpaste? Here is a helpful guide on how much toothpaste your child should be using! We look forward to seeing you.

Eat your fruits!

Exercise is one of the best things that you can do for yourself!

The teeth chew our food and help us enunciate during speech. A child will inevitably be more comfortable in food focused social situations with easy chewing, so it's important that your child's teeth are properly aligned!
