Did you know?
Blue whales are the largest animals alive today, and they have no teeth to eat food! So instead, blue whales are filter feeders. There are a total of 15 types of whales that eat this way. These species are known as Baleen whales because they have baleen plates instead of teeth.
However, we also did a small Whale Tales Art Gallery inspired by this outstanding exhibition.
Exploring these artistic Tales at the Whale Trail Auckland is a great idea. https://whaletales2022.org/art-trail/

Did you know?
It is essential to wear your plastic retainer after your braces come off.
Why do I have to wear a retainer after successful orthodontic treatment?
Retainers are designed to hold teeth in place after your braces are removed. They are usually made of wire, plastic or a combination of both.
Braces straighten teeth by applying pressure. Like a tree bending in the breeze, they usually want to return to their original position once the pressure is gone — especially with young patients who are still growing. Retainers increase muscle memory and keep teeth in place.
Retainers ensure that the results, where so much effort has been involved, are maintained over time.
Once your braces are removed, please wear a retainer to keep your beautiful Bachmannsmile.
Smile News 8-Charcoal Toothpaste
Charcoal Toothpaste doesn’t make the teeth black or white.
Social media is full of advertisements and endorsements for charcoal toothpaste: the latest tooth-whitening miracle product! You can barely open Instagram or read a Buzzfeed list without seeing someone recommend the wonders of charcoal for your face and teeth. Some even use it as a rinse for your hair!
The American Dental Association has not found any evidence that charcoal toothpaste is safe or effective, and it may actually harm the teeth and gums. Charcoal toothpaste is advertised as a whitening agent that can remove particles from the teeth, but this is a misleading claim.

Cavities are caused by a germ.
A germ causes cavities. It can be spread while kissing & sharing food. Tooth actually decay results when bacteria in your mouth feed on food debris (starchy, sticky foods are a primary culprit) and produce acid as a byproduct. This mix of food, acid, saliva, and germs clings to your teeth as a filmy substance called plaque.
Plaque can erode teeth enamel and cause cavities to form. No matter what you eat, cavities won’t develop without the help of such bacteria. These germs can spread from mouth to mouth via shared food and utensils, sneezing, kissing, …
