In honor of American Indian Heritage Month, we wanted to celebrate the first American Indian that became a dentist in 1956! 🎉 #AmericanIndianHeritageMonth #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #dentist

This beautiful tradition celebrates the lives of those who have passed, honoring their memory and welcoming their spirits back to join us in a joyful reunion. Altars adorned with photos, marigolds, and their favorite foods create a vibrant tribute, reminding us that death is not an end but a continuation of love and connection. #DiaDeLosMuertos #memories #DayOfTheDead

There's a good reason dental health professionals warn their patients not to chew ice. This habit can cause serious and permanent damage to teeth and gums, so what makes it so addicting in spite of the dangers? Compulsive ice eating is called pagophagia. Sometimes it's a symptom of pica, a psychological disorder in which a person feels compelled to eat large quantities of non-food items, such as dirt, clay, hair, or ice. A nutrition gap could be responsible. Recent studies suggest a link between anemia and compulsive ice eating. The theory is that chewing ice makes up for the lack of iron (which we need to carry oxygen to the brain) by stimulating blood flow to the head. It's an interesting workaround but doesn't address the root cause. Iron supplements would be more effective, without the drawbacks to dental health. What can ice do to our teeth and gums? The same thing it can do to pavement over repeated freezes and thaws. The problem isn't how hard ice is, but how cold it is. Tooth enamel is very brittle and can easily fracture due to so many dramatic temperature changes from the contact with ice. The gums are also in danger. The ice numbs them, so it's hard to notice if they're getting sliced and damaged. #ChewingIce #BadHabit #TeethDamage
