When should you start brushing your baby's teeth?

The answer is simple: as soon as the first tooth appears!

Use a soft-bristled infant toothbrush and a rice grain-sized smear of toothpaste to help keep those tiny teeth healthy from day one.

We're honored to serve as a sponsor of this year's Sweeney Memorial Bracket Open.

The tennis tournament was created to honor the life and legacy of Sam Sweeney, a dear friend of Dr. Ben who left us far too soon earlier this year. While his passing has left an immeasurable void, his kindness, generosity, and the impact he had on so many continue to bring people together.

Dr. Ben is proud to be a founding member of the Sweeney Foundation, a 501(c)(3) established in Sam's memory. The foundation provides support to families facing sudden financial hardship, promotes youth development through tennis, organizes community events, and funds scholarships.

We're proud to support the Sweeney Foundation and grateful to everyone helping carry on Sam's legacy of compassion, generosity, and community.

Imagine answering your phone with "Ahoy-hoy!" 📞⚓ That's exactly what Alexander Graham Bell wanted people to say instead of "hello."

"Hello" won the popularity contest, but "Ahoy-hoy!" would've made phone calls a lot more interesting.

Stiffer bristles don't make your teeth cleaner. 🪥

Soft and extra soft toothbrushes remove plaque just as effectively as medium or hard bristles, and they're much gentler on your teeth and gums.

The next time you replace your toothbrush (about every 3–4 months), choose soft or extra soft bristles.
