BUT IT IS HARD TO THINK FAST!!! EVEN IF IT’S YOUR FAVORITE TOPIC hahaha this was stressful!!!! #dentalhygienist #dental #rdh #dentistry #dentalassistant

Why do people hate the dentist?! It usually comes down to money, anxiety, and trust… not “bad” dentists! Dental insurance hasn’t kept up with the times, dental fear is real, and treatment plans can differ based on risk and philosophy. The good news: You still have options to get affordable care

Why flossing EVERY night matters: 🦷 Removes plaque where toothbrush can’t reach 🦷 Helps prevent cavities between teeth 🦷 Reduces gum inflammation & bleeding 🦷 Freshens breath (bye food stuck for 24 hrs) 🦷 Lowers your risk for gum disease 🦷 Saves you $$$ on dental work long-term It only tak

Brushing immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks can potentially harm your enamel. The ADA recommends we wait 30-60 minutes after eating to allow our saliva to neutralize the acid. Other ways to help neutralize pH, you can finish with pH-neutral foods like cheese, drink water, or chew xy

Friendly reminder from your dental hygienist!!! Even if you have “good teeth,” you still need maintenance. Everyone gets plaque! Not everyone gets heavy buildup, but plaque forms on ALL of us. That’s why checkups and cleanings twice a year matter. Think of it like oil changes for your car! The more

Let’s talk about “turkey teeth” since this trend didn’t go viral just because dental work is cheaper abroad… It blew up because of heavy social media marketing that sells cosmetic dentistry as a vacation, self-care, and a glow-up. Here’s what people often don’t realize: 🦷Most cases are crowns,

she got new implants… and not the dental kind! nothing says patient-provider trust like updating your health history and SHOWING your surgical healing to your dental hygienist! all jokes aside, I love that our patients feel comfortable enough to be this real with us 😊 #dentalhygienist #implan

all about the fits… then, now, and forever! thank you mom 👗🧥👠!!! PS OH MY this trend is funny if you’re born in 1990 because either you’re a literal infant or a 9 year old living your lifeeeee haha so I almost didn’t do it but then I was like NO I WANNA! I loved my 90s!!! #dentalhygienist

Kate McKinnon + Hot Ones + dental references = me smiling!!! Did you know about geographic tongue? It’s harmless, looks funky with map-like patches, and can make spicy wings extra interesting! 🌶👅 #GeographicTongue #DentalFunFact #HotOnes #KateMcKinnon #dentalhygienist

The caption says “laughing gas” but let’s clear something up! Laughing gas/nitrous oxide works fast and leaves fast. As someone certified to administer it, once the mask comes off and you’re breathing oxygen, the effects typically wear off within 3–5 minutes. So either this was filmed immediately a

All whitening isn’t created equal. And not all “natural” or “instant” products actually change tooth color. Hydrogen peroxide (and its cousin, carbamide peroxide) are the only ingredients proven to whiten teeth at the molecular level. Everything else? Surface-level. #teethwhitening #whiteteet

I’ve seen a few of these hippo dental videos and I think they are so cute 😍🦛 but also… I’d be so nervous they’d bite my entire arm off! hippos have insane teeth and jaw strength! and I love seeing them get care but also… yikes! anyone else feel both fascinated and terrified at the same time? #h

Although apparently this is a trend (making up weird things that happen during your period to confuse men) and she’s just taking off a teeth whitening strip HOWEVER it’s important to note that hormonal changes during your period CAN affect your mouth (not like this tho because it’s a whitening stri

As a dental professional, that doesn’t look like a veneer prep to me 👀 Dental veneers cover the front of the tooth with a small wrap to the back, while crowns cover the entire tooth and often have a peg-like core underneath. Either way, accidents happen, and she still has a beautiful smile! #ve

what’s your pick? as a dental hygienist who has never had a cold sore… I would pick (1) no bad breath because OF COURSE it’s the worst in social situations and (2) no cold sores because although I’ve never had one I know I never want one PS I also obviously would want free dental work for life a

Reasons your teeth aren’t getting white: 🦷 whitening products scams (make sure your product contains peroxide) 🦷 plaque on your teeth (brush and floss better) 🦷 tartar on your teeth (get a professional cleaning) 🦷 thin enamel and/or micro-cracks (check with your dental professional) For even
