Brushing: There's an app for that!
September 26th, 2013
Need a little motivation to keep you brushing regularly and for the recommended two minutes twice a day? Check out this new app from Oral-B to keep you on track in between your visits to the dentist!
The app works with your electric toothbrush to automatically start timing your brushing session when it's activated by the electric toothbrush motor! If you prefer a manual toothbrush, then you can start the timer yourself.
The app records your brushing routine and provides prompts for cleaning each section of your mouth. Your habits are recorded and can be viewed in weekly and monthly charts that display your progress. And of course there are also great tips on brushing and oral health care.
And so you don't get "bored" while brushing, you can also check out the weather in Greenville, SC, and read news headlines while your timer ticks away! Head over to the iTunes App Store and search for "Oral-B" to get started.

Do you know what you're drinking?
September 24th, 2013
As the fall sports season gets into full swing, it's a great time to evaluate what you and your children are drinking to stay hydrated. Sports drinks can be an hidden source of sugar in your daily routine. Additionally, the high acidity is very damaging to your tooth enamel and can cause it to erode and wear away over time.
Water is always the best choice for you teeth. However, if you need the extra fuel and benefits of sports drinks, make sure that you rinse your mouth with water after you hydrate!
