4 Tooth-Rific Reasons Why Toothpaste Rocks!
* First, toothpaste helps remove plaque! Plaque is a sticky, harmful film of bacteria that grows on your teeth that causes cavities, gum disease, and sometimes even tooth loss if not controlled. Yikes!
* Second, toothpaste contains fluoride, which helps make your teeth strong, healthy, and resistant to decay.
* Third, toothpaste helps to clean and polish your teeth and remove stains.
* Fourth, toothpaste helps to freshen your breath and leave your mouth feeling clean and ready to smile all day! 🙂

Dentist teaching boy how to brush teeth
We are so very proud of Keowee Smiles Hygienist, Ashley Leavitt, for her recent trip to Les Irois, Haiti. Ashley gave part of her vacation time to travel to Haiti to volunteer at a children’s camp that serves 300 children, ages 6-14. She helped with providing dental cleanings and fluoride treatments, along with getting to play games with the kids after their vacation bible school.
Ashley posted on her Facebook page,
“You do what you can with what you have until you can’t.”
We are so very proud of you, Ashley!

Take the Keowee Smiles Toothbrush Challenge!
The American Dental Association recommends brushing 2 minutes 2 times a day for a healthy smile! Is your family brushing for 2 minutes each time you brush? Take the Keowee Smiles’ Challenge to see!
Over the next few days, clock the average time spent brushing for you and your family to see if you are meeting the 2-minute goal.
Comment below or message us to let us know how your family fared in the challenge!
A timer on your watch or smartphone is a great idea for adults to keep time. For kids, there are a number of apps and toothbrushes which will play their favorite songs while they brush. Let’s all brush 2 min 2x a day and remember to floss daily for a healthy smile!
Although there are a variety of opinions on the best methods for brushing your teeth, the ADA recommends the following best practices for dental hygiene:
Brush your teeth two times a day with a soft-bristled brush.
Replace your toothbrush every three or four months. If you wait longer, your worn toothbrush won’t do as good of a job cleaning your teeth.
Make sure to use a fluoride toothpaste that is ADA approved.
Brush your teeth at a 45-degree angle to the gums.
Move the toothbrush back and forth gently in short strokes.
Don’t just brush the outer surfaces. The inner surfaces and chewing surfaces of the teeth need attention, too.
Don’t forget your tongue. Brushing your tongue will help remove bacteria and keep your breath fresh.
Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from your gumline and between the teeth.
Visit your dentist regularly (two times a year) for oral exams and professional cleaning.
