The dentists at Columbia Healthy Smiles discuss cavities and Halloween candy with Paul Pepper.

Candy-based holidays, like Halloween, can wreak havoc on your oral health. Fortunately, you can protect your teeth by eating a healthy meal beforehand. Not only can it coat your teeth, but it can also increase the production of saliva, which helps fight cavities. Just make sure to follow your candy consumption with a good brushing and flossing!

Amid the current pandemic, our lives have changed in more ways than one. However, clenching your teeth, poor sleep, and frequent snacking with no trips to the dentist in sight can wreak havoc on your teeth. So, make sure to implement a solid daily oral care routine at home and speak to your dentist about how you can safely attend your biannual visit.

We want to take a minute and talk about some of our best patients, kids! Not only are they full of stories and curious minds, they're sometimes more fearless than grownups! Plus they laugh at Dr. Batson's "dad jokes"! #bestpatients #learning #columbiahealthysmiles

The practice of teeth whitening dates back to 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt! At the time, a mixture of pumice stone and vinegar was used to lighten people’s smiles.

A New Orleans dentist introduced the concept of flossing in 1815 when he offered patients a strand of silk thread to clean between their teeth. By 1882, factories were producing unwaxed, silk dental floss for mass use.

Thanks Paul Pepper for having us on the show! We are excited to be able to offer same-day crown technology to our patients.

In October, we wear PINK! #breastcancerawareness Warren A. Lawson, DDS, MSD

The most widespread disease is the common cold. The runner up? Tooth decay. Fortunately, visiting your dentist annually can reduce your risk by 60%!

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Your tongue takes up a large amount of real estate in your mouth, so it is important not to neglect it! To keep it clean and bacteria-free, use your toothbrush or a tongue scraper to clean it from front to back during your oral hygiene routine.

There are over 100 million bacteria in one drop of saliva!

Vote for your favorite pumpkin!

Recent research found that chewing sugar-free gum after your meal can encourage the production of saliva, remove food particles, protect your teeth from decay, and give you minty-fresh breath. So, don’t hesitate to opt for a stick or two until you can get to your oral hygiene routine!
