In the 2005 movie version of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp, [young] Willy Wonka’s dentist father was obsessed with clean teeth to the point of depriving poor Willy of any kind of candy treats. We know how this story ends, it’s a very emotionally disturbed and traumatized adult Willy Wonka!

Despite having both of my parents as dentists, that was not my experience at all. I’m pretty lucky to have amazing parents who knew how raise us right. Yes, they encouraged us to eat healthy food, but they were not extreme and taught us to eat (and drink) in moderation. We learned the value of good habits like daily teeth brushing. You could always find a toothbrush at my house!

Establishing good habits and a having regular routine is the key to most things that are worth doing and have a positive payoff. The thing about habits is, it takes about 21 days (on average) to create a habit — and just one day to break it! Consistency is key.

In the case of clean teeth, it's not about the quantity of how often you brush…It's not how hard you brush your teeth either. It's not even how often you brush your teeth. The sweet spot is in the quality of brushing.

If you're an aggressive brusher, you could remove the enamel. You could cause gum recession and more. In this podcast you’ll learn how to properly brush your teeth like an expert. We also explore the 10 worst habits that lead to poor health.
