Originally this day was set aside to commemorate George Washington's birthday, but since that time it is now a day that we celebrate all our country's fine leaders.

Did you know? The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle first observed that sweet foods like soft figs caused tooth decay, although very few people believed him. Now we know sugar does create decay, but it does so through a specific process. According to Healthline.com, your mouth is a constant battleground of demineralization and remineralization. Cavities occur when bacteria in your mouth digest sugar and produce acid, which weakens tooth enamel. Got a sweet tooth? Make sure to brush after every meal and especially after treats!
