Bet you’ve never heard these from your dentist before… 1) Chew xylitol gum after meals Xylitol starves cavity-causing bacteria and boosts saliva - your body’s natural enamel repair system.

The sign out front still says “Family Dentistry.” The same hygienist greets you by name.

Let me save you $$$ in gum graft surgery right now… You are not scrubbing the bathroom floor when you brush your teeth! Aggressive brushing physically abrades the gum tissue away from the tooth root, and once it recedes, it doesn’t come back.

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 💩

Chronically elevated blood sugar feeds the exact bacteria that drive gum disease. The same bacteria linked to cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and early tooth loss..

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.

👋Down here! Dental advice I’d never follow — and I was in private practice for 40 years. “Use ACT mouthwash to get rid of bad breath.” The alcohol dries out your mouth, which destroys the saliva that was actually keeping odor-producing bacteria under control — so your breath just gets worse.

Before everybody asks in the comments, no, Welch’s fruit snacks are NOT better than candy! -Dr. B

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.

The 90s, for me, were about striking out on my own in private practice (after being fired from my first job out of dental school) and my wife and I becoming parents to three incredible women. Feels like yesterday! #nineties #dentist #bayarea #90s #90sdad

▶️ WATCH: "My personal view is that the electorate has made its mind up on the present Prime Minister and have decided they don't want him to continue in that role." At lunchtime I made my debut on Roxom TV, talking about the local & devolved election results and what they may mean for Keir Starmer.

In my head, the 80s were just two decades ago. The neon lights, the wood-paneled consoles, the simplicity of it all - it feels so close. But 20 years ago was the mid-2000s. We’ve traded floppy disks for the cloud, but I’m still holding on. I may be in 2026, but my heart is set to "Retro."

2/3 Galați [pronounced Galatsi] is Romania's 8th biggest city, and also a port on the Danube. As we've seen in the statement, two people suffered minor injuries, so it could have been a lot worse. This is the moment the Russian UAV hit the apartment block in Romania.

Another Saturday, in Paris, this time starting the day with a bread festival on the grounds of Notre Dame Cathedral:

U.S. strikes on Iranian-linked targets continued. Coverage of whether those strikes broke a ceasefire or enforced one split almost perfectly along partisan lines, and the split was not incidental. It went to the factual core of the story.

Many states around the country are gearing up for a push to be the first state to transition to a universal, single payer system. We think that Oregon is the most likely state to make this move first, and we expect to vote on the transition plan in 2028.

"It was Friday morning that we learned that Canada's economy was the only one in a recession. The only G7 economy," says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, as he calls for an emergency debate on the economy. "And what has Mark Carney done since? He's been in hiding." #cdnpoli
