Morning Mike will bet you didn’t know that toothbrush-like implements date back to over 5,000 years ago, when the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians made crude toothbrushes by fraying the end of twig. This is just one of the few fascinating tidbits the “high tech dentist” Dr. Gary Vander Vliet shared with morning Mike recently. You would be surprised to learn what materials put in their mouths to clean their teeth over the centuries. Most importantly, Dr. Gary reminded Mike that brushing your teeth is an important part of your healthcare.
