🦷 He faked a kidnapping… just to skip the dentist! 😳

In 2014, a 12-year-old boy in France decided that “I don’t want to go” needed a more convincing storyline.

So he claimed he’d been kidnapped on his way to the dentist—complete with a detailed description of the kidnapper and the getaway car. 🚗

Police spent weeks investigating before he finally admitted he’d made it all up. The reason? He was scared of his dental appointment.

That’s quite a lot of trouble to avoid opening your mouth… especially when you end up having to confess. 😂

We’ve heard a few excuses for missing an appointment, but this one takes the crown. 👑🦷

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time for remembrance and reflection.

Today, the Ardent Dental team honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors, and their families and communities.

We take this day to listen to Indigenous voices, reflect on the lasting impacts of residential schools, and continue learning how we can contribute to reconciliation.

Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and heard.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Why did Dyson pull its new toothbrush from stores? 🪥👀

Dyson launched the CameraJet this September with a built-in camera and a targeted jet designed to clean between teeth. Soon after, some early buyers reported leaks and devices that stopped working.

Dyson says a component issue affected a small number of early batches. Sales were paused in some markets, but the company says it has not issued a formal recall.

Our dental take? New technology can be exciting, but more features and a higher price don’t automatically mean a better clean. What matters most is brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning between your teeth daily.

Would you try a camera-equipped toothbrush?

Are you really brushing for 2 full minutes—or just guessing? 🪥⏱️

We all know we should brush twice a day. But how long you brush matters, too.

Two full minutes gives you the time to properly clean all the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline—areas that are easy to miss when you’re rushing.

✦ Keep it simple:
• Brush in the morning
• Brush before bed
• Brush for 2 full minutes each time

For kids, building this routine early helps turn good oral hygiene into a lifelong habit. And for adults? A timer or electric toothbrush can help keep those “two minutes” from becoming 45 seconds. 😉

Small habits. Every day. Healthier smiles for the long run. 💚

Do you time your brushing—or just go by feel?

Brushing your teeth but forgetting your tongue? 👅

Your tongue can collect bacteria, food debris and dead cells — all of which can contribute to bad breath, even when your teeth are clean.

The good news? It only takes a few seconds.

✦ Gently brush your tongue from back to front with your toothbrush or a tongue cleaner. A few light strokes are enough — there’s no need to scrub.

It’s a simple habit that kids and adults can add to their daily oral hygiene routine.

And if bad breath or a coated tongue persists despite regular brushing and flossing, mention it at your next dental visit. Sometimes there may be another cause worth looking into.

⭐ Tonight’s reminder: brush, floss… and don’t forget your tongue.
