Tooth Be Told… Dentistry Can Be Fun!
At Sekhon Dental in Agoura Hills, we take your oral health seriously—but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way! Whether you’re a trivia buff, a curious patient, or just need a reason to smile today, here are 10 fun dental facts that prove teeth are anything but boring.
1. Tooth Enamel Is the Hardest Substance in the Human Body
Stronger than bone, your enamel protects your teeth from chewing, grinding, and even some not-so-great snack decisions. Just remember—it’s tough, but not invincible. Keep it safe with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
2. Sharks Never Run Out of Teeth
Sharks can grow up to 30,000 teeth in a lifetime. Imagine if your dental visits came with that many replacement options!
3. The Average Person Spends 38.5 Days Brushing Teeth Over a Lifetime
That’s over a month dedicated to brushing! And trust us—it’s time well spent.
4. Your Teeth Are as Unique as Your Fingerprint
No two people have the same set of teeth—not even identical twins. So yes, your smile is truly one of a kind!
5. There Are More Bacteria in Your Mouth Than People on Earth
Don’t panic—most of them are harmless. But this is exactly why brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings are so important.
6. George Washington Didn’t Have Wooden Teeth
They were made of ivory, gold, and other human teeth (😬). We promise our modern materials are much more comfortable—and much less creepy.
7. Smiles Are Contagious—Literally
Studies show that seeing someone smile activates the part of your brain that makes you want to smile too. Spread some smile power today!
8. Your Mouth Produces Over 25,000 Quarts of Saliva in a Lifetime
That’s enough to fill two swimming pools! Saliva helps you digest food, fight bacteria, and keep your mouth moist and healthy.
9. Toothbrushes Used to Be Made with Animal Hair
Modern brushes are much gentler. Thank goodness for nylon!
10. Flossing Can Add Years to Your Life
Seriously! Flossing daily reduces inflammation and bacteria, which is linked to heart disease and other systemic issues. One little string, big impact!
