Chew on…

Got your chew on?

Do you know what people did people there were commercial toothbrushes? What? You didn’t realize there ‘was’ a time before toothbrushes? Well, yes! Long before toothbrushes were invented people used twigs to brush their teeth with.

People would cut off a young branch of trees, strip away the outer bark and chew them down until they the fibers begin to seperate and then brush and use them. Dogwood branches were a great brush! Dogfood sticks reach around and between your teeth pretty darn good.

Course these days, most people opt to see their dentist regularly and that’s a good thing. Hopefully you’ll have a great checkup but when you don’t you’ll want to have good dental insurance.

So get your chew on and visit your dentist, but first be sure to visit United Dental Insurance for your own dental insurance policy.
