One simple way to check if you’ve done a good job brushing and flossing is the tongue test! Run your tongue across the surface of your teeth, especially at the gum line. If you find any areas that don’t feel smooth and slick, you may need to give those areas some extra attention!

To soothe your teething baby, gently rub their gums with a clean finger, cold spoon, or a moist gauze pad. Avoid using numbing gels as they may be hazardous to your baby's health. Letting your baby chew on a solid rubber soother can help to ease their pain as well. Call us with any questions or to arrange your baby’s first dental visit by the age of 1 (or within 6 months of their first tooth).

A glass of orange juice tastes pretty terrible if you’ve just brushed your teeth, but it has nothing to do with the minty flavour of your toothpaste. Orange juice is sweet, but it’s also a little sour. The foaming agent in your toothpaste temporarily blocks the taste receptors on your tongue that register whether something is sweet — which means you can only taste the sour part of the juice.
