1. Holiday Quiz and Holiday Trivia Questions
Here's a listing of popular and interesting dental trivia questions,
with just a bit of advice about looking after your teeth thrown in.
Many of these questions (just like the first one) have been asked
and re-asked for over 100 years.
Did George Washington have wooden dentures?
That's really a myth. According to historians, Washington had
major issues with his teeth and gums, but his first group of
dentures were produced from a combination of ivory and human
teeth.
Washington lost nearly all of his teeth by the age of 50.
Previously, people believed losing teeth was a certain element of
the aging process. Today we all know better. With care, your teeth can last a lifetime.
Does sugar cause cavities?
Sugar can donate to cavities, but only when it's allowed to stick to tooth for long periods of time.
The most crucial thing is always to wash after meals and snacks. Think of what you drink, too.
If you drink coffee or soft drinks each day without cleaning afterwards, you are risking cavities
and stains. Drinking sweet drinks is as detrimental to your teeth as eating chocolate, especially if
you never brush.
Who conceived eating gum?
This is among the old dental trivia questions that people have been asking for a long time. It's
thought that the defenders of the Alamo were probably among the first to use gum. The Mexican
dictator Santa Anna is credited with introducing it. Here's another question about gum.
Is gum bad for your teeth?
Sugarless chewing gum is really good for the teeth. It can help to clean away debris and
promotes production of saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break up sugars and antibodies that
fight tooth decay.
Which floss is best: waxed or un-waxed?
This really is one of the dental trivia questions that will help decrease tooth decay when
answered precisely. Un-waxed floss picks up more plaque.

2. Is wine good for your teeth?
Drinking a glass of red wine each day is reported to be good for your heart, but it is not the best
choice for your teeth. The acids present in all wine options can erode tooth enamel. The worst
stains are caused by red wine. Again, the clear answer would be to wash usually and well.
Your dentist probably has more dental trivia questions
and answers for-you. Perhaps you should call up and
make an appointment. Typical check-ups lessen your
danger of cavities.
