Did you know your body is about 60% water?🚰⁠ Did you know your body is about 60% water?🚰⁠
⁠
How much water you need depends on a lot of things and varies from person to person. ⁠
⁠
For adults, the general recommendation is about::⁠
⁠
➡️ 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) a day for women⁠
➡️ 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) a day for men⁠
⁠
...this includes fluids from beverages like teas and juice, and from food too. You actually get an average of 20 percent of your water just from the foods you eat!⁠
⁠
Not to mention 👉🏽 drinking adequate water is super important when it comes to your oral health‼️

⁠
⭐ GLO Vials feature a patented design that keeps the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel fresh and active ~without~ refrigeration. ⁠
⭐ Our GLO vials are stronger than anything you can purchase over the counter, yielding faster whitening results!⁠
⭐ GLO whitening gel includes additional desensitizing ingredients.⁠

Do you know what's in your paste? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Almo Do you know what's in your paste? 🤔⁠
⁠
Almost all commercial toothpastes use artificial sweeteners and Sodium Laurel Sulfate which is added to make the paste foam.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
A tip from the pros 👉 If you frequently get canker-sores, avoid pastes with SLS as it's been shown to cause them in some patients.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Instead, opt for toothpaste that contains:⁣⁠:⁠
⁠
🦷 Flouride ➡️ Flouride is an agent that helps protect your teeth against cavities, and makes your teeth more resistant to acid and erosion.⁠
🦷 Xylitol ➡️ A natural sweetener that has been found to boost your dental health and help prevent tooth decay. ⁣⁠

In honor of Black History Month, we wanted to high In honor of Black History Month, we wanted to highlight 2 black pioneers in dentistry.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The first is Dr. Robert Tanner Freeman. After being rejected from two dental schools because of the color of his skin, Dr. Freeman went on to enroll at Harvard University’s School of Dentistry as a part of their inaugural class. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
He graduated in 1869, becoming the nation’s first African American dentist. Upon graduation, Robert opened his own practice in his hometown of Washington, D.C.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The second is Dr. Ida Rollings. Ida enrolled in the University Of Michigan School Of Dentistry in 1887 and graduated in 1890. She then relocated to Cincinnati, becoming the first African American woman to own a dental practice there. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The dental field was bettered by both of these doctors and their legacy lives on in the thousands of black dentists practicing today!

So...how does @invisalign really work? 🤷🏼⁠ So...how does @invisalign really work? 🤷🏼⁠
⁠
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move your teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners are worn about a week at a time and are only removed for eating and brushing! 🦷⁠
⁠
Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces! In fact, many times Invisalign treatment is faster than braces since the aligners can be changed more frequently than metal wires. ⁠
⁠
Our doctors are ranked in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the USA. 🇺🇲 That means that we have a ton of experience treating patients with Invisalign. ⁠
⁠

Brushing with an electric toothbrush is the best w Brushing with an electric toothbrush is the best way to get that "just visited the dentist" feeling 💯⁠
⁠
If you aren’t currently brushing with an electric toothbrush, we highly recommend that you give it a try. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
1️⃣ When used properly, electric toothbrushes are more effective than a manual brush. A typical adult can complete about 300 strokes per minute when using a manual brush, while an electric brush can complete anywhere from 7,500 to 30,000 strokes per minute. ⁠
⁠
2️⃣ They help to control the amount of pressure you apply when brushing. Many electric brushes have pressure notifications and will tell you if you are brushing too hard.⁣⁠
⁠
3️⃣ They're better for the environment! Depending on the brand, it takes about 25 replacement heads to equal the plastic in just one manual brush⁣⁠
⁣⁠
So there you have it! As dentists, we favor electric toothbrushes simply because they make it easier for our patients to keep their teeth as clean as possible. ⁠
⁠
Do you prefer manual or electric brushes? If you like electric, which are your favorites?
