The truth about what causes bad breath 👇

Most people reach for mints or mouthwash and think the problem is solved. But bad breath is almost never about what you just ate.

The real cause is almost always bacteria.

Bacteria living on your tongue. Bacteria hiding below the gum line. Bacteria thriving in the dry environment of an under-hydrated mouth.

Mouthwash masks the smell for about 30 minutes. It does not address the source.

What actually helps: brushing your tongue, flossing consistently, staying hydrated, and professional cleanings that get below the gum line where you cannot reach.

If bad breath is something you deal with chronically please mention it to us. It is almost always very treatable. 🦷

Something small that makes a big difference over time 👇

The angle of your toothbrush matters more than most people realize.

Most people brush straight across their teeth which cleans the surface but completely misses the gum line. That is where plaque builds up and where gum disease starts.

The right technique is simple. Angle your brush at 45 degrees toward the gum line and use small gentle circular motions. Let the bristles reach just under the edge of the gum where the tooth meets the tissue.

It feels a little different at first. But after a week your gums will feel noticeably cleaner and healthier.

Try it tonight and see what we mean. 🦷

What happens at a dental cleaning that most patients do not fully realize 👇

Your hygienist is doing a lot more than polishing your teeth.

They are measuring the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gums — tracking any changes from your last visit. They are checking every tooth surface for signs of decay. They are looking at soft tissue for anything unusual. They are removing calculus buildup that has hardened in places your brush cannot reach.

And they are compiling a picture of your overall oral health that Dr. Hicken reviews before he ever enters the room.

A cleaning is a comprehensive health assessment. It just happens to leave your teeth feeling great too. 😊

Something we hear from patients all the time after their first visit 👇

"I wish I had come in sooner."

Not because anything was wrong. But because they realized how easy it was. How comfortable it felt. How different it was from what they had been dreading.

If you have been putting off coming in because of anxiety, embarrassment, or just life getting in the way — we want you to know that whatever you are imagining is almost certainly worse than the reality.

The only thing standing between you and a healthier mouth is one phone call. We promise to make everything after that as easy as possible. 💙

Something that happens to your jawbone when you lose a tooth 👇

Most people know that losing a tooth affects their smile. What most people do not know is what happens beneath the surface.

Your jawbone needs the stimulation from tooth roots to maintain its density. When a tooth is lost the bone in that area begins to shrink — a process called resorption.

Over months and years this bone loss changes the shape of your face, affects how neighboring teeth sit, and makes future dental work more complicated.

This is why replacing missing teeth is not just cosmetic. It is a health decision.

Implants are the gold standard because they replace the root and provide the stimulation the bone needs. Ask us about your options. 🦷

Tuesday appreciation 💙

To every patient who left us a kind word — a Google review, a Facebook comment, a handwritten note, or even just a smile on the way out the door —

Thank you.

You have no idea how much that means to this team. It keeps us going on the hard days and it makes the good days even better.

We are grateful for every single one of you. 💙

Okay Spanish Fork — settle this for us 👇

What time of day do you brush your teeth at night?

A) Right after dinner while the kids are in the tub
B) Before bed — proper routine person
C) Right before I fall asleep — sometimes in bed if I am honest 😄
D) I brush when I remember and I am working on it

Drop your letter below. Completely judgment free zone. 👇

MYTH: Getting a tooth pulled is always the last resort.

Actually in some situations an extraction followed by an implant is the smarter long term choice over saving a tooth that is going to keep causing problems.

Not every tooth is worth saving. Sometimes a heavily compromised tooth that requires repeated expensive treatment is better replaced with a strong implant that will last decades.

This is not a decision we make lightly. But it is one we make honestly — based on what is actually best for your long term oral health and your budget.

We will always give you our honest assessment and walk you through every option. You deserve to make an informed choice. 💙
