If you store your toothbrush in the bathroom in the open, it could be contaminated by what's known as "toilet bloom." This refers to the bacteria that is jettisoned into the air when the toilet is flushed. Store your toothbrush away from the commode.

You should replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Using a toothbrush for too long can bend the bristles and if this happens, the toothbrush doesn’t clean well.

Depending on the system used, did you know that dental drills spin anywhere from 30,000 rpm (electric) to 300,000 rpm (pneumatic)? While very effective, drills rotating at these speeds generate a lot of heat so they need to be connected to a water supply to cool things down.

With IV moderate sedation for a dental procedure, you are literally receiving the sedative drug through a vein. This is beneficial, as the drug will not only go to work more quickly but the dentist will be able to continually adjust your level of sedation for maximum benefit.

Your biggest ally in the fight against tooth decay is unquestionably your own saliva. A steady flow of saliva through the mouth washes away bacteria, keeps food from sticking to the surface of the teeth, and neutralizes acids that would otherwise eat away at the enamel.
