The ever-evolving technological world just took a turn into the oral healthcare industry. Procter & Gamble Co will release the world's first smartphone-connected toothbrush in June. The device will be sold under the Oral-B brand and will give personalized advice to assist people in their oral care routine. Furthermore, the toothbrush has a Bluetooth 4.0 that can link to a smartphone app. Through the app, a dentist can program reminders and advice to treat neglected areas of the mouth.

The toothbrush, which will be unveiled in the coming days, is another step in the colliding worlds of health and technology. It is joined by apps that measure a persons calorie intake, sleep patterns, and daily exercise.

The toothbrush app will help assure that people are brushing effectively and efficiently; hitting all the necessary spots and guaranteeing people brush for the recommended 2 minutes.

Valentine's Day Candy Affects More Than The Waistline

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and many of us are getting ready to celebrate with our sweetheart.  When we think of showing our love, two things come to mind: diamonds and chocolate.  The heart-shaped boxes stocked with delicious chocolate treats are purchased by more than 35 million Americans each year! People normally worry about what eating the entire box will do to the waistline, but rarely ever is there a concern on the impact these sweets have on our teeth.  Check out the following effects:

Bacteria attacks teeth.  When the bacteria in your mouth come in contact with the sugar you eat, acid is produced.  This acid then begins to attack your teeth for at least 20 minutes!  Further, the cavity causing bacteria thrives on sweets and sugars which break down enamel and the inner layer of your tooth, causing tooth decay and leading to cavities.

Sticky candies cause havoc!  What's better than caramel filled chocolates?  While we agree that these treats are delicious, they are also problematic for our teeth.  Sticky candy substances take longer to dissolve, leaving the sugar to wreak more havoc on your teeth. Also, when eating sticky candies you are putting your fillings at risk of being sucked out.

Enjoy your candy while increasing your oral care.  It is perfectly fine to enjoy your chocolate candies during the holiday as long as you maintain proper care of your teeth.  Brushing and flossing an extra time each day may help prevent the sugar from damaging your teeth severely.  Visit your dentist and schedule regular cleanings and exams to assure your teeth are protected.
