Just finished a CBCT pathology course and it was such a great refresher.

As dentists, our CBCT scans capture so much more than we sometimes realize. Every scan has the potential to reveal something outside the scope of what we were originally looking for, and its our responsibility to know how to spot it and where to send it.

If we are going to be held liable for what shows up on these scans, we owe it to our patients (and ourselves) to know how to recognize something suspicious and who to triage it to.

Continuing education like this is what keeps us sharp and keeps our patients safe.

Raise your hand if you think canker sores are THE WORST 🙋🏼‍♀️

I’ve dealt with them pretty much my entire adult life, and I still can’t always figure out my triggers. Sometimes they seem completely random, but they ALWAYS hurt😩

Here’s something you might not know: your dentist or dental hygienist may be able to treat canker sores with a dental laser. The treatment is quick and typically doesn’t require any numbing or injections

How is a canker sore different from a cold sore?

🦠 Cold sores are viral. They’re caused by the herpes simplex virus and are contagious

🔥 Canker sores are NOT viral or bacterial. They’re inflammatory ulcers caused by an immune response in the tissue, which is why they aren’t contagious

So what is the laser doing to my canker sore?

The laser uses light energy to help decrease pain and inflammation while stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This process, called photobiomodulation, can support cellular repair and tissue healing

And one of my favorite parts? Pain relief can happen very quickly

My canker sores can normally hang around for up to 2 weeks, making eating, drinking, brushing and even talking uncomfortable. Anything that can reduce that pain and help the area heal faster is a HUGE win for me

Should we talk about how badly we all want to be lazy? 😂

Here is an easy at home test to see if your teeth are dirty!

Take 30 seconds to move your tongue around the surfaces of your teeth. Make sure to reach all the way down to your gumline

Now how did it feel to your tongue?

Your teeth should feel like glass. If they feel fuzzy or like they’re wearing a sweater, that means that they are covered in a biofilm that contains plaque, bacteria and possibly even calcium buildup

If your teeth feel fuzzy or rough, it could mean that you missed a spot with your toothbrush, you can go back in and brush or floss that area again until it feels smooth. If you can’t get your teeth to feel like smooth glass, it could be a sign that the teeth need to be professionally cleaned to avoid permanent complications

I do this trick every time I brush my teeth to make sure I’ve cleaned my teeth thoroughly

That black mold trend everyone’s freaking out over. Let’s talk about it.

I cracked open my own toothbrush head to show you exactly what happens when your toothbrush is cared for the right way. Spoiler: no mold, just a little calcium, nothing scary.

Here’s the truth. Mold loves moisture. If you rinse your toothbrush well after every use, shake off the excess water, and store it upright so it can actually air dry, you are not giving mold anywhere to grow. The girls finding mold in their toothbrush heads are usually storing them in closed containers, travel cases, or cups where water just sits and never fully dries.

A trick I use after I rinse out my brush, I seat mine backward on the base of the holder instead of pushing it all the way down. That little gap keeps it from sitting flush, so air can actually get up into the bristles instead of trapping moisture against the base.

Your toothbrush is a tool. Treat it like one. Take the tip off and rinse it out. Dry it. Store it standing up with the bristles exposed to air. Replace it every three months no matter what. That is really all it takes.

I made a video showing you exactly how I clean mine. Go find it in my saved stories.

Small habits like this are the same ones I talk to my patients about every single day. Dental health is not complicated, it is consistent.

Take care of your tools and they will take care of you.
