Fun Egg Brushing Experiment for Children
In support of National Children’s Dental Health
Month, we urge parents and educators to spend
time in February teaching children about the
importance of taking care of their teeth and gums.
It is important for children to understand at an early
age that a healthy body begins with a healthy
mouth--both what you eat and how you care for
your mouth.

important it is to brush

What is MI Paste? Can It Benefit My Teeth?
Many dentists recommend Minimal Intervention (MI)
Paste for certain dental symptoms. It is a waterbased, sugar-free cream that comes in a tube like
toothpaste. MI Paste can help condition, protect,
and rebuild your teeth’s surface by replenishing two
key minerals--calcium and phosphates.
MI Paste has been found effective in helping people
who suffer from:
• teeth sensitivity, including patients who
experience teeth sensitivity after teeth
whitening;
• acid erosion, including erosion due to excessive
consumption of soft drinks; and
• white spots or other minor tooth discoloration
caused by a calcium deficiency.
Stacy Matlock, lead hygienist at North Aurora
Smiles, calls MI Paste, “The most revolutionary
mineralization product we have had in years!”
