Protect Pearly Whites This Summer

2019-05-29T15:25:05-05:00

As school lets out for summer, neighborhoods will be filled with the sounds of playing children and outdoor fun!  Most kids love bike riding, roller skating, skateboarding or other physical activities that can be enjoyed in the glorious sunshine.  Everyone is so busy having a good time, that we often forget to consider how those precious teeth can be protected for optimal enjoyment and minimal damage.  Studies report that 39% of dental injuries are related to some type of sporting activity. But there’s a simple way to help block blows to the teeth. At the dental office, we can make [...]

Uh oh. Cotton Candy!

2019-05-04T23:21:23-05:00

Most of us can’t escape a circus, carnival, or Fair without purchasing a bag of delicious, gooey cotton candy. What if I told you that this highly sugary treat was first invented by a dentist? You heard me.  A DENTIST. The machine spun, sticky goodness was first invented in 1897 by William Morrison, a dentist, and his confectioner friend, John C. Wharton.  Cotton candy then made its first debut at the 1904 World’s Fair.  Before it was coined cotton candy, the addictive treat was called “Fairy Floss” and it’s first performance resulted in selling 68,655 boxes at 25 cents [...]

Dentists Then & Now (Be Glad You’re In This Century)

2019-04-19T12:05:56-05:00

In the 1800s, people often went to their local barber to consult him about tooth pain. Dentists were few and far between, so the highly respected “cutter of hair” would be the chosen man to extract the tooth. Yikes.  Only the rich could afford wooden dentures (made from the teeth of the deceased) to replace a missing tooth, so most people just went without. Fast forward to today: thank goodness the dental business was eventually  recognized as a medical profession and the development of technology, tools and numbing pain came into existence.  The front lines of dentistry are now [...]

Boars, Bristles, & Brushes

2019-04-04T14:21:50-05:00

I’m pretty sure most of us are guilty of using a random item around the house or car to scrape out something stuck in our teeth before that important client meeting or coffee date with a friend. Lucky for us, that’s not the norm.  But it used to be. Humans have been experimenting with ways to clean their teeth for a long time! One of the earliest tools for cleaning was made from a twig or a branch that was chewed and worked around in the mouth. These “chew sticks” are the oldest toothbrushes on record. In China, in [...]

Pearly Whites

2019-03-14T11:37:20-05:00

If you're like most of the world, you have, at some point, dropped money on teeth whitening products, because the yellow-ish hue infringing on your smile is killin’ your vibe. Just like your entry way rug gets dirty from feet trampling daily on it, your teeth also get dirty and stained.  If brushing and flossing are hit or miss, plaque builds up and eventually leads to tartar, that stuff that gives off the yellow-ish hue. Teeth can also stain from consuming drinks and foods with dark pigments and from using tobacco products.  The worst culprits are: black tea, coffee, [...]

Small Time Family Dentist & David Blaine?

2023-04-19T10:13:42-05:00

So I’m just a small time, Family Dentist here in Columbus.  That somehow ended up on a National Television special. Here’s what happened.  David Blaine is one of the most famous and talented magicians of our generation.  And just a really cool dude.  A few years ago, he took on a very dangerous stunt of catching a bullet in his teeth on national TV.  And because of my long history of being both a dentist and a magician, he reached out to me asking for help on the mouth contraption that would literally catch that bullet.  Here’s what we’d hope you see.  We won’t be doing any [...]

Teeth Take Time

2019-03-03T18:14:34-06:00

The average person spends about 48 seconds per day brushing their teeth.  But let’s be honest, most of us are lucky to squeeze in a quick brush after breakfast before dashing off to work - while some of us are using one hand to shove kids in the car for school while quickly scrubbing our pearly whites with the other. Next time you brush your teeth, count silently in your head and see how long you tend to brush.  Chances are... it won’t be long enough. Most dentists recommend 2 minutes (on the low end) and preferably 3 minutes [...]

Cutting Edge Tech

2019-02-03T00:59:54-06:00

Technological advances are constantly evolving in the field of dentistry.  Thanks to cutting edge techniques and new, improved gadgets, the needs of individual patients can be treated more effectively. Why is this good news for you?  Because it means less time in the dental chair, minimal discomfort, and more accurate treatment for your dental woes. Cameras, digital X-Rays and other high tech machines magnify images and assess overall oral health more accurately for both dentists and patients.  In other words, long treatment plans and multiples dental office visits are eliminated. And let's not forget the leaps and bounds the dental [...]

The Floss (So Much More than a Dance)

2019-01-13T22:27:03-06:00

Twenty-five years ago, a West Virginia prison inmate braided dental floss into a rope, scaled the wall, and escaped. While this is incredibly creative, the preferred use for floss is using it to clean the surfaces of teeth that you are missing when only brushing (better yet, just try to avoid going to prison). Though flossing probably doesn’t sit at the top of your priority list, it should.  Once you make it a habit, chances are you won’t quit, because you’ll grow to like that smooth, clean feeling flossing creates.  What most of us don’t know is that flossing should not [...]
