Myth : Charcoal Toothpaste Is Better

Charcoal toothpaste is marketed for whitening, but in reality, it offers little protection for teeth. Charcoal toothpaste works against teeth by absorbing protective agents meant to keep teeth healthy and strong.

Don’t believe commercials and marketing taglines. While it can offer temporary whitening, charcoal toothpaste is often too abrasive, especially for long-term use.

Fact: While sugar does contribute to cavities, it's actually the bacteria in your mouth that creates acid after eating sugar, leading to tooth decay. Regular brushing and flossing are key!

Baby teeth fall out in the same order they came in.

If you have ever wondered why certain teeth fall out first, it is because baby teeth usually fall out in the same order they came in. The bottom front teeth are usually the first to go, followed by the top front teeth. It’s a fun pattern that helps make room for adult teeth.

The tooth fairy has been around for over 100 years.

The tradition of the tooth fairy started in the early 1900s. I think it’s so fun that kids all over the world celebrate the loss of baby teeth in different ways. Some kids leave their teeth under their pillow, while others toss them onto the roof for good luck!
