Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Once a tooth has been knocked out, it will start to die after about 15 minutes. To prolong its life until you can reach your emergency dentist, it’s best to keep it in your mouth between your gums and cheek. Alternatively, you can safely store it in a container of milk to keep it alive.

A human adult typically has 32 teeth (including wisdom teeth). That’s far less than many other animals! Cats have 30 teeth, dogs have 42 teeth, pigs have 44 teeth, and armadillos have 104 teeth.

Wishing your family a Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you know your toothbrush is home to more than 100 million bacteria? To keep your teeth and gums healthy, the American Dental Association recommends replacing it every three to four months.
