The key to a healthy mouth & smile—Hint: it’s not toothpaste

  May is National Dental Care month!  And for those of you like me who are old enough to remember, there was a commercial in the early 70s for Ultra Brite toothpaste featuring the beautiful late actress, Farrah Fawcett.  The camera zooms in as she flashes her famous pearly whites and says, “Mother never told me about Ultra Brite!”  Of course, what the makers of Ultra Brite wanted you to think was that if you...

How to have a healthy mouth (plus 5 amazing tooth facts)

You may recall there was a commercial in the 1970s for Ultra Brite toothpaste featuring the beautiful late actress Farrah Fawcett flashing her pearly whites at the camera.  Of course, the makers of Ultra Brite wanted you to buy their toothpaste, thinking you’d have a gorgeous smile like Farrah if you did.  But there’s a lot more to healthy teeth and gums than just toothpaste!
