Fun Facts: The Dental Connection!

Everyone loves FUN FACTS and dental tips.  Dr. Thomas and our team at Thomas Family Dentistry came across these dental fun facts and thought that you might enjoy!

  • The second most common U.S. disease is cavities.  The first, the common cold.
  • X-rays may be an effective tool in preventing strokes.
  • There are almost 9,000 accidental poking and piercings with toothpicks per year.
  • Approximately $2 Billion a year is spent on all dental products.
  • North American kids spend half a billion dollars per year on chewing gum.
  • The average American spends 38 days brushing teeth over his or her lifetime.

Lastly, instead of the American Dental Association's recommendation to see your dentist twice a year, many busy Americans only have their teeth cleaned every 3 years!  Has it been at least six months since your last check-up?  If the answer is yes, we encourage you to call our dental office at 918-455-0123!

God Bless,
