Animals Have Amazing Teeth. (And I’m Not Lion.)

2018-08-14T22:39:27-05:00

Unlike humans, animals cannot brush their teeth with a toothbrush, nor maneuver flossing between their teeth.  So how do they have such amazing teeth? For starters, animals in the wild don’t have exposure to processed foods and refined sugars like humans. The food we eat sticks to our teeth and can cause damage if not brushed away regularly.  Animal teeth, on the other hand, only have to handle raw meats and plants. Let’s not forget that Coke and Pepsi aren’t on their lunch menu either; water is their only source of hydration. Plain and simple, animals are well protected [...]

5 Tips for Teaching Kids to Brush

2018-07-16T22:07:05-05:00

It’s hard enough to get kids to put their clothes on, let alone brush their teeth.  But believe it or not, you can make the experience manageable and even FUN (who knew?) Establishing a good dental hygiene routine begins when kids are young and when parents have the opportunity to encourage habits for healthy teeth.  Not only did your parents want you to have fresh breath, but more importantly, they wanted to make sure your teeth and gums were well taken care.  If you don’t learn how to take care of your teeth when you are young, poor dental [...]

Never Going To The Dentist Is Like…

2018-06-30T13:10:09-05:00

There are three main reasons people avoid the dentist. 1. They are terrified to see if they’re housing a mouthful of cavities since their last visit. 2. It’s just one more annoying thing to think about and schedule. 3. Money. It costs money. These are all based on one thing – fear. Fear of health risks, fear of time, and fear of money. And sometimes it takes a little parental pep-talk to remind people that going to the dentist is important! We’re here to pep. Here are some comparisons about what it’s like not going to the dentist to [...]

Does Whitening Toothpaste Hurt My Teeth?

2018-06-12T11:37:08-05:00

Whitening toothpaste sounds like a dream come true. You can lose the weird whitening strips that crinkle in your mouth, and trays from the dentist can go bye-bye. All it takes is a tube of toothpaste and your basic, brush-two-times-a-day routine. Sounds easy, but there’s a risk involved for sure. Here’s what’s actually happening when you’re using whitening toothpaste. Many whitening toothpastes include rough little particles that do to your teeth what a scrub does to your face – exfoliates. Every time you brush your teeth, you end up exfoliating them, which reveals a whiter layer of enamel. The [...]

Columbus Dentist | It’s Like Magic

2018-06-03T21:52:01-05:00

Kids (and people who have kid-like spirits) don't often like going to the dentist. You can bribe them with treats during or after, but it takes a lot to haul them into the car and into the waiting room. Then you get to feel the tug on your shirt when you check in, followed by a "But do I have to get my teeth cleaned? I brush my teeth all the time!" Cue parental eye roll. Want to give them something they (and you) can actually look forward to at the dentist? Sounds too good to be true, right? [...]

Dentist Columbus Checkup

2018-05-15T22:10:29-05:00

Since taking care of your teeth can affect your overall health, it's important to go to the dentist on a routine basis. Which begs the question: How often should someone go to the dentist? While the origin of the twice-a-year visit is unclear, it turns out there's something to it. With a basic cleaning twice a year, you can catch problem spots early and keep bigger issues from ever coming up. Even if you are the Monk of tooth care, it's still important to get your teeth checked regularly by your dentist. What you can see is how great [...]

Why Do I Keep Getting Cavities?

2018-04-22T13:00:38-05:00

Almost all of us have had that dreaded moment when you're sitting in the dentist chair, and you hear a "Hmmmm............" Your brain races. Uh-oh, please don't let it be... "Looks like you have another cavity." Nooooooooo!!! "We'll have to get you scheduled for a filling here shortly." For some of you, you're thinking about biting the bullet at age 40 and getting dentures early at the rate you're going. For others, maybe you've only got a couple cavities. Either way, you're brushing your teeth and doing everything right. So why do you keep getting cavities? Here are the Top [...]

Same Day Crowns

2018-03-31T21:24:03-05:00

When someone mentions you have spinach stuck in your teeth, you come to a fork in the road. One path is rushing off to the bathroom with a minty restaurant toothpick. Route two is digging in right then and there with your fingernail, hoping for the best. Unless you're the world's most amazingly confident person who waits to floss later that night (in which case, we salute you). Either way, those moments prove that humans are terrified to have something wrong with their smile. How ironic that the same smile that represents your happiest self ends up hidden because [...]
