About Linda  – The Probiotics Tooth Fairy

Most people don’t believe in The Tooth Fairy.

In fact, nobody was more surprised than I when my friends, family and co-workers kept calling me that!  It isn’t like I sneak into people’s houses and replace their lost teeth with money.  I just like to give advice about keeping teeth and gums healthy.  And how lucky am I that I work at Oragenics, Inc., a company that develops innovative oral-care products?  Not many people can say that they love what they do!

I do have a name.

It’s Linda, but feel free to call me The Tooth Fairy if you’d like.  I’m not a dentist or a dental hygienist, but I love to help friends keep a healthy mouth!  Besides, people have a tendency to be afraid of dentists (even though they’re very nice and helpful).  For some reason, people warm to the thought of The Tooth Fairy — maybe it’s that cash under the pillow thing.

My love of good oral hygiene began twenty years ago.

I found myself working in the area of health education with a focus on dental care.  I started reading everything I could to educate myself on the subject of oral care.  And now I find myself wanting to share this information in a way that makes it accessible and fun.  For example, did you know that using probiotics for the mouth can get rid of frightening, horrible morning breath?  ‘Tis true.  Did you also know there’s a way to whiten your teeth naturally – without harsh chemicals that make your gums and teeth sensitive?

I could go on all day, but I’d rather answer questions that are posed to me.  So please drop me a line and ask me anything about oral health!  Got a tooth that’s discolored?  A friend with funky breath?  Can’t stop drinking coffee, but want a pearly white smile?  Ask me for help!!  I may not break into your home and leave you $10.00, but I promise I will have an answer.

Remember, of course, that I can’t replace regular dental visits.  You still need to see your dentist twice a year.  YES, twice a year!
