The #1 cause of cavities is mouth breathing - NOT a lack of fluoride. A child who mouth breathes is not getting the quality sleep they need to thrive. In 2026, we can no longer call this “prevention.”

I’m a dentist and I would NEVER use mouthwash twice a day. Here’s what a 3-year study found: 49% higher diabetes risk Nearly DOUBLE the risk of high blood pressure

if your child is breathing through their mouth, their saliva dries up. And saliva is the only thing standing between your child’s teeth and decay.

❤️Share and save because every child deserves the gift of great sleep. As a dentist and a father and now grandfather, I have seen firsthand the life-changing difference these things make. To learn more, comment AIRWAY and I’ll DM you a checklist for your child’s next dental appointment.

Most women have never heard this from their dentist. There’s a bacterium called Fusobacterium nucleatum that lives in diseased gums. When your gum tissue is inflamed — even the low-grade, just a little bleeding kind — it creates an opening straight into your bloodstream.

If you ask why I’m so “obsessed” with health, it’s because my parents never got the opportunity I’m getting now - to be a part of my grandchildren’s lives.

I can’t tell you how many patients used to come in for a regular teeth cleaning, and when I’d ask about nighttime urination, their eyes would go wide: “Wait...how did you know?!”

You might feel clean after brushing (or after a quick shower), but without flossing (or wiping), you’re leaving the worst stuff behind. Both flossing and wiping remove trapped, decomposing material 💩

Most people are rushed into fillings for what’s actually called an incipient lesion—the earliest stage of decay. That’s not a full-blown cavity. It’s a warning sign—and often, it’s reversible.

Hygienists are the MVPs of dentistry. Thank yours!

How much do we really want to be an Acts church?

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

A question for @andyburnham.bsky.social: What do you mean by "stronger public control"? Does that mean a) direct public ownership or b) just better regulation?

The internet is flooded with clips, leaks, and rumors and the people in power connected to them. But one thing is clear: the public deserves transparency and accountability. Whether you’re outraged, questioning, or just paying attention your voice matters.
