In olden times, long, long ago, the Tooth Fairy had a terrible time keeping up with lost teeth. The ones that were nearby she could hear when they fell out. Her ears got very sharp, and she could tell the difference between a tooth falling from a mouth and, say, an acorn falling from a tree. But beyond her hearing distance, she needed elves to help her, just as Santa Claus needs elves. When a tooth fell many miles away, the nearest elf would hop on his unicorn and ride to the next elf to spread the news. And he’d ride his unicorn, and so on, until the news reached the Tooth Fairy, who would give the elf a coin, and he’d ride back to make sure it made its way under the appropriate pillow. A lot of work, don’t you think? The Tooth Fairy is very faithful, so she made the system work. But today we live in the digital age, and the Tooth Fairy takes every advantage of this. All of the Tooth Fairy’s helper elves now have cell phones and webcams that eliminate the need for unicorns. A good thing, because unicorns are very hard to find these days. But best of all is the tooth scanner, an electronic gadget that can scan a house and locate each of the people in it, then scan their teeth to identify a loose tooth before it even falls out. So, the Tooth Fairy’s elves scan their houses and watch for the loose teeth to fall, then they call TF herself, who comes in person with her reward. Even though the Tooth Fairy now uses new technology to keep up her good work, she’s still as special as she always was. So, remember that when your next tooth starts to wiggle a little bit, you’re already on the Tooth Fairy’s radar and you’re sure to get your prize.

Importance Of Teeth
Your teeth are important -
They help you to chew,
They help you to smile
And say, “How do you do?”
Be sure to take care of them,
Morning and night,
By brushing and flossing,
You’ll keep your teeth bright!

Humans grow two sets of teeth in their lifetime.
King James IV (1473 - 1513) of Scotland was an amateur dentist. He even paid people to let him practice on their teeth. Who could say no to his royal majesty?
Humans grow their first set of teeth in childhood. The first set of teeth are called predecessors, and are also commonly known as baby teeth. The 20 primary teeth include 8 incisors for cutting, 4 canines for tearing, and 8 molars for grinding, but no premolars or wisdom teeth.

Why do baby teeth fall out? The answer is simple and worth celebrating: Baby teeth fall out usually when people are between 6 and 12 years of age, to make way for permanent new teeth that will be greater in number and more varied in type.

Humans grow their second set of teeth as they begin to leave early childhood, make their way through adolescence, and finally, reach adulthood. The second set of teeth are called permanent teeth, and are also commonly known as adult teeth. The 32 permanent teeth include 8 incisors for cutting; 4 canines for tearing; 8 premolars, also known as bicuspids, for crushing; and 12 molars, which include 4 third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, for grinding.

Tooth count varies naturally - and perfectly normally - among individuals. Adults who have had wisdom teeth removed typically have 28 teeth. Additional, or extra teeth, beyond the typical 32 number, are known as supernumerary teeth, and usually consist of additional third molars, also known as wisdom teeth.

What is orthodontics? Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry involving the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of ‘irregularities of the teeth and jaws,’ commonly referred to as ‘malocclusions.’ The English word ‘orthodontics’ is derived from the Greek words ‘orthos’ meaning ‘straight’ or ‘correct’ and ‘odontics’ meaning ‘teeth.’ Orthodontics addresses misaligned teeth, poor bite patterns, and abnormal jaw positioning, often involving dentofacial orthopedics to modify facial growth. Common treatment interventions include traditional braces, clear aligners, and removable retainers to gradually adjust tooth position and jaw alignment. Orthodontists are dental professionals who, after completing dental school, undergo three to five additional years of specialized training. In addition to alleviating or preventing physical health problems, orthodontics can boost self-esteem, as treatments align teeth, jaws, and lips. Among the well-known orthodontic patients are psychologist Joyce Brothers and comedian Phyllis Diller.

Electric toothbrushes generate 3,000 to 7,500 strokes per minute, compared to about 300 strokes per minute with manual brushing.
Here’s some nutty goodness: The oil in cashews is said to help prevent tooth decay.
Scientists may someday develop methods that will allow adults to grow replacements for their damaged or missing teeth. That, along with the invention of a bed that makes itself and a refrigerator that goes to the store all by itself and does the grocery shopping, will finally allow humankind to focus on the really important tasks ahead of us, like building a rollercoaster on the Moon.
Sign on dentist’s houseboat: ‘Offshore Drilling.’
The earliest toothbrush was developed sometime around 3,000 B.C.E. It was called a ‘chew stick’ and was crafted from a small twig with a frayed end that was rubbed against the teeth. The first toothbrush with bristles is believed to have been developed in China in 1498. The bristles were taken from hogs at first, and later from horses. DuPont de Nemours introduced the first toothbrush with nylon bristles, called ‘Doctor West’s Miracle Toothbrush,’ in 1938. Squibb Pharmaceuticals marketed the first electric toothbrush, known as the Broxodent, in 1960.

Tooth Care Guidelines

- Thoroughly rinse your toothbrush after brushing and place it where it can dry completely.
- Flossing on a daily basis ensures healthy gums and teeth.
- Visit your dentist once every six months and any other time you feel a need to.
- Children as well as adults can have their teeth straightened and aligned by orthodontists.

There was never yet a philosopher

What You Need To Know Before Visiting A Dentist
-Your teeth do not grow back. Find a dentist who is not aggressive in treating your teeth, and who will do the least amount of dental work necessary.
-Your oral health is linked to your overall health. Bad teeth and gums are linked to many chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
-Dental materials are different. Some dental materials are better than others are. Better materials may cost more; however, they can last longer and save you time and money in the long-run.
-Your teeth are the best. No artificial material is better than your own teeth. Take excellent care of your teeth.
-Do not wait until your teeth hurt to schedule a dentist appointment.

Brush Your Teeth
Brush, brush, brush your teeth.
At least two times a day.
Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning,
Fighting tooth decay.
Floss, floss, floss your teeth.
Every single day.
Gently, gently, gently, gently,
Whisking plaque away.
Rinse, rinse, rinse your teeth
Every single day.
Swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing,
Fighting tooth decay.
By Author Unknown: can be sung to the same tune as that of, “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”
Brushing
Here’s my toothpaste, here’s my brush
I won’t hurry, I won’t rush.
Working hard to keep teeth clean
Front and back and in between
When I brush for quite a while
I will have a happy smile.
