Did you know? October is National Dental Hygiene Month and we’re celebrating our dental hygienists, Stephanie and Rebecca! Are you behind on your oral cleaning schedule? They look forward to seeing you!
With the holiday season fast approaching, please keep in mind that we have the best deals on Philips Sonicare electronic toothbrushes - an absolute must in the modern-day dental healthcare - and they also make great gifts! Sonicare toothbrushes will help reduce gingivitis up to 100% and will remove plaque up to 6x more along the gumline.
As we look to raise awareness on the importance of good oral health, and to keep cavities at bay from Halloween to New Year’s Day and beyond, we recommend that you try to do these things daily: 1) Sip beverages through a straw to help minimize acid contact with your teeth, 2) Brush and floss after every meal, especially after enjoying rich desserts, 3) Bump up your water intake to help rebalance your mouth’s pH and minimize oral bacteria growth, 4) Limit snacking to allow your saliva to neutralize acid and work on restoring enamel, and 5) Chew sugar-free gum to satisfy your sweet tooth and increase saliva production.
Should a cavity emerge despite your best efforts to prevent it, be sure to get it filled before it gets worse. Dental care is just a call away at 618-624-2800!
