I am the creator and owner of a popular dental and lifestyle page called “Blondeandtoothy” on instagram with 17,000 followers. The page documents the life and interests of a typical dental student, through the eyes of a dental student. I also promote proper oral hygiene by posting informative content about dentistry. Although the page is specifically about dentistry, my account targets anyone interested in the healthcare professional field, for example: dentists, dental students at schools across the United States, pre-dental students, as well as students in other healthcare professional fields (Dental hygienists, nurses, doctors, pharmacists etc). My page is also viewed by many non-health professionals, who are genuinely interested in improving their oral health. I am passionate about using my platform to inspire and motivate young professional women to pursue their dreams, whether that is in their careers or in their personal lives. I also collaborate with dental, fashion and beauty brands that I love and stand through in-feed post advertisements. My account resonates with the dental industry, as my content is geared specifically towards that space, and I have a high rate of engagement. While working with brands, I find creative ways to incorporate products I stand for. Most importantly, my followers provide authentic feedback to the posts I publish.

This is a scam that SO MANY PARENTS fall for - and ironically enough, while we are trying to improve our kids’ health - THIS product is destroying their health. I am talking about gummy multivitamins. 🍬 If you actually look at the ingredients on these gummy vitamins, you’ll see that just one serving contains an average of 6 grams of sugar while A child’s daily limit should be under 25 grams. Then these loaded sugar bombs are packaged in gummies which stick to teeth and are very hard to brush off. Then these become traps for bacteria 🦠 that causes early childhood cavities. 😩 This is why if you need to look for a vitamin alternative that isn’t a gummy, has no sugar and only uses carefully sourced ingredients - like Hiya! @hiyahealth is a trusted brand that prioritizes children’s well-being and is: 👏🏼 free of added sugars, artificial additives, and unnecessary ingredients like gelatin. 🌿 only use carefully sourced ingredients 🤤 amazing taste - made with natural zero-calorie sweeteners. 🌎 sustainable AND child friendly packaging #hiya #hiyahealth #oralhealth #healthandwellness #childrenshealth #sugar #somuchsugar #kidshealth #healthykids #babyteeth #pediatricdentistry #pediatricdentist #babytooth #healthychanges #parenting #parentlife #organickids #gummyvitamins #vitamin #supplements #supplementsthatwork #kidsvitamins
More than 5 million teeth are knocked out every year in children and adults 😱🦷 and while this statistic is FRIGHTENING to say the least - rest assured that there are steps you can take to save the tooth so that it can be replanted successfully and last for years to come! Like ⭐️ SAVE and SHARE this post and remember to see your dentist as soon as possible in the event of an emergency like this! ✅ If you can - find the tooth that got knocked out! Wash the tooth with your own saliva. 💦 Try to stick the tooth back into the socket if its a clean knock-out. If you can’t then just keep the tooth in your mouth (saliva is the best environment for your teeth!) or in a cup of milk. Time is now of the essence so find your nearest dentist and try to get there within a half hour! ⏰ If the tooth is looooong gone - that means you’re going to need to replace it. You have several options: Partial Denture ➡️ This is the more affordable/faster option, you can create a partial denture for around $1500 at the dental office, which will fix the look and is a temporary solution. Dental implant ➡️ This is the more costly option and will take a few months to surgically insert, integrate with tissue, and then place a crown on top of the implant but this is a permanent solution. If you’re looking to save a lot of $$$ and order a partial denture that’s comfortable and beautiful, I love @reset_your_smile . They are a service that creates partial dentures for one to several missing teeth, at half the cost of what you’d pay at a dentist’s office. They are dentist-prescribed, custom fabricated partial dentures that are 3D printed using Valplast®, the same high quality material that has been used by dentists for more than 70 years. And these come out a perfect match to your teeth without even leaving your house. You can easily order one of these to regain your smile and it will look good as new!

Long story short: You’re supposed to wear your retainer after completing your orthodontic treatment or the teeth will move right back to their previous position and you’ll have to do the invisalign all over again. 🙃 #orthodontics #orthodontist #invisalign #invisalignsmile #invisaligndoctor #braces #bracesoff #braceslife #retainer #retainers #dentalmemes #dentistryworld
Yes its true!! as oral health advocates, we are taught to educate patients on the benefits of fluoride and while fluoride absolutely does offer many benefits to protecting and remineralizing enamel, it actually isn’t necessary for your oral hygiene routine, and you CAN have great oral hygiene without fluoride as long as you are diligent about brushing twice daily for two minutes each time, flossing regularly and rinsing after flossing to flush out the gunk and residue you just disrupted. 🌟📍 Remember - the purpose of brushing in itself is to remove the residual food and plaque on your teeth and below the gumline that accumulated during the day and then while you sleep. Whenever leftover food is not properly removed every day - the bacteria come in and feast on it which causes cavities, and the plaque along the gum line is what causes inflamed gums and gum disease. There are ingredients out there that are beneficial for your oral health without fluoride or alcohol. @naturesanswer has an awesome line of PerioBrite products that contain fantastic ingredients to support oral health without fluoride, artificial preservatives, or flavors. Their mouthwash and toothpaste help target germs and bad breath with ingredients including xylitol, which is known to help promote saliva production and is helpful in preventing bad breath! 💚🌿 #naturaltoothpaste #herbalmedicine #herbalife #herbalremedies #fluoride #fluoridefree #dentistry #dentaltips #naturaltoothpaste #naturaloralcare #fluorideispoison
Have you ever noticed white spots on your teeth? Technically called white spot lesions; they are a sign of early decay. White spot lesions may be due to: ✔️ fluorosis (overexposure of fluoride to the teeth) ✔️ enamel hypoplasia (thinner development of the enamel on teeth) ✔️ demineralization of the enamel on the teeth ✔️ low calcium diet or poor oral hygiene. The good news is that its treatable and can be reversed with a nononvasive procedure called Resin Infiltration. This procedure is very easy and does not involve any drilling or or anesthesia - simply etching and the use of Icon etch - a liquody resin that painlessly penetrates the enamel pores and fills them and seemlessly blends into the tooth structure. #whitespots #stainedteeth #cosmeticdentist #dentalschool #dentalhygiene #smiledesign #whitespot #dentistry #dentist #dentistryworld #fluorosis #cavities #cosmeticdentistry #instadentist #stainedteeth
Hobbies: writing, reading, voter outreach (Vote Forward!), watching TV, going for walks with my husbandLast Movie Watched: Last movie watched in theatres was Little Women (and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, twice– once with my son, once with my husband). Last movie watched while sitting on my couch was Christmas Around the Corner (I love those cheesy holiday movies!)Favorite Books: Little Women, the Cazalet series, Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan quartet, Americanah, The Dazzle of Day (Quakers in space– no kidding), Of Human Bondage, Doomsday Book, Lilith’s Brood, MiddlemarchDream Job: I’m pretty happy with my current job though I’d prefer less paperwork– taking walks, looking at cute animals, playing games (and usually losing), taking photos, drawing, crafting, writing, reading, learning things, visiting museums and galleries.
It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you don’t want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that you’re not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all the time and then needing to take deliberate, mandated breaks from living to do basic things like drop some oil into a bath and read Marie Claire and turn your phone off for the day. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you do If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, it’s because you are disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with “treating yourself” and a whole lot do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness. It is learning how to stop trying to “fix yourself” and start trying to take care of yourself… and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place.
Hyperdontia is an oral condition characterised by having an excess number of #teeth. The standard number of primary teeth is 20 and the standard number of permanent teeth is 32. A person who develops more than 20 primary teeth or more than 32 permanent teeth has hyperdontia. The prevalence of hyperdontia is between 1% and 4% of the population with a male to female ratio of 2:1; the majority of cases are limited to a single tooth.
