It’s spring, and that means spring cleaning. This year, when you’re scrubbing, dusting and tidying, don’t forget to “clean up” your dental routine!

When was the last time you replaced your toothbrush? You should replace it every 3 months.
Do you have enough toothpaste and dental floss? Are you flossing daily? If not, now’s a good time to renew your commitment to refresh your smile.
When was the last time you gave your night guard a deep clean? Here’s a tip: use a denture tablet once a week to keep your nightguard refreshed and sanitary.

We ❤️ our patients! Valentine’s Day is here, and we know that this sweet holiday isn’t exactly tooth-friendly. However, there are ways to diminish the damaging effects of candy on your teeth. Here are a few tips to help keep cavities at bay:

Choose your sweets wisely…Avoid gummy or hard candies that stick to teeth. Opt instead for chocolate that melts away quickly. Dark chocolate even has some enamel-boosting compounds!

Save it for later…The best time to eat candy is after meals, when your salivary glands have been triggered. Saliva helps counteract cavity-causing bacteria.

Wash it down…It’s always a good idea to stay hydrated, but drinking water after eating sweets helps to rinse away the sugar.

Have a happy Valentine’s Day!
