May is graduation season 🎓

Congrats to all the dental school graduates this year—you’ve put in years of hard work to get here, and it shows. We’re also celebrating our patients graduating high school and college right now—big milestones and even bigger things ahead for all of you.

Check out these throwbacks from Dr. Nate’s dental school graduation! Such a proud moment marking the end of one chapter and the start of another 🦷

🐌 Snails have teeth... and LOTS of them!

Believe it or not, snails can have up to 25,000 tiny teeth 😲—all located on a tongue-like structure called a radula, which works kind of like a cheese grater inside their mouths! 🧀🦷

Tiny, slow, and oddly terrifying when you think about it 😅

Nature never ceases to surprise us!

Your mouth is home to a constantly forming biofilm—a sticky layer made up of proteins from your saliva and bacteria that naturally live in your oral environment.

When this biofilm isn’t disrupted regularly, it matures into plaque and can shift toward more harmful, disease-causing bacteria.

Not all mouths are the same—some people naturally harbor higher levels of “bad” bacteria, making them more prone to cavities, inflammation, and gum disease even with similar habits.

That’s why consistent home care and professional cleanings matter so much. It’s not just about brushing—it’s about managing the balance of bacteria to keep your smile (and whole-body health) in check 🦷
