Gentle Dental Facts

1. On average, a person spends only about 48 seconds per day brushing their teeth.  Dentists recommend at least 2 minutes.  So, most people spend more time a day waiting for Netflix to load next episodes than they do brushing.
2. A West Virginia prisoner braided dental floss into a rope over many months and successfully escaped.  So, if a friend says, “Oh sorry I can’t get out of this appointment, so I can’t see you,” he’s not trying hard enough.
3. Every tooth is different.  Unless you are in Kentucky, everyone has one tooth and they all look the same.
4. Over 300 different species of bacteria are found in plaque.  This is the second most, after Nickelback CDs you find in dumpsters which contain 750 different species.
5. In early America, blacksmiths who made horseshoes and other metal objects often served as dentists.  Nowadays only Sarah Jessica Parker, Nancy Kerrigan and a select few still get serviced by blacksmiths.  I’m not horsing around.
6. Mummies in Egypt have been found with fillings made of resin, malachite, and gold.  Some insurance companies may still approve this procedure, but only after you are dead.
7. Airborne particles from toilet flushing can actually make their way to your toothbrush bristles.  Keep your toothbrushes in a drawer, or at least 6 feet from the toilet or any media playing Jared Leto movies.
8. Sports related injuries are the cause for around 5 million missing teeth every year.  It’s estimated that 8 million missing teeth injuries were avoided due to the internet, by the keyboard warriors who would’ve never talked shit in real life.
9. Cotton candy making machines were co-invented by a dentist!  That’s also where the term, “well that son of a bitch!” was invented.
10. The average woman smiles about 62 times per day, and the average man smiles only 8 times per day.  But the average Media Pub Live readers smile 100+ times per day!

Americans spend 100 billion dollars a year on hair care products, but only 2 billion a year on dental care products.  Dental health is far more important to your overall health.  Unless you’re Jada Pinkett Smith.  If she would’ve worn a wig, her husband wouldn’t have been banned from the Oscars for 10 years.

So now you know some fun facts about teeth!  Our teeth are essential to our health and they allow us to chew, speak and smile.  For tips on better dental care, develop a relationship with your dentist and ask them a lot of questions.  You may also visit the game changing experts at orlcares.com.
