Fun Tooth Facts BRUSHING OFF TROUBLE The 300+ Bacteria Living in Plaque
DID YOU KNOW?
Here’s something that may shock you: Plaque can contain more than 300 different species of bacteria. It’s true. That sticky stuff that forms on your teeth has bacteria that play a role in your oral health.
BIG APPLE FACTS
These bacteria thrive in the warm, moist environment of your mouth, especially when sugar and starches are present. Some of these bacteria are relatively harmless, while others are aggressive and contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. Different areas, such as the tongue, cheeks, gum pockets, and tooth surfaces, provide different environments for various microbes to live. When plaque isn’t removed regularly through brushing and flossing, harmful bacteria start to dominate and increase the risk of dental problems.
Did you know NewYork was the first capital of the United States? In 1789, George Washington took his oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street. Today, it's hard to imagine Wall Street as anything other than a financial hub, but its roots go much deeper. The Statue of Liberty, one of the city's most iconic landmarks, was a gift from France and arrived in 350 individual pieces packed in over 200 crates. It took four months to reassemble it on Liberty Island. Lastly, NewYork's subway system is massive. It’s larger than any other in the world. With 472 stations, it's the only system that runs 24/7, 365 days a year.
