DID YOU KNOW! You should clean your tongue! Clean the surface of your tongue daily. By using a professional tongue cleaner you remove countless bacteria that otherwise live, particularly on the rougher top surface of your tongue. These can contribute to bad breath (halitosis) and negatively affect your dental health.

THANK YOU! "Thank you for seeing my husband and I yesterday. We are very happy with your professionalism and the hygiene work on our teeth. We will most definitely see you in July. We will also recommend you to others." - S&J E.

DID YOU KNOW? Having a toothache or noticing other dental symptoms is important! If you are having tooth and jaw pain make appointment as soon as possible. Your dentist needs to diagnose the underlying cause and correct it before it turns into a greater problem.

We continue to work hard to keep all our clients safe with up to date techniques and standards. Book your next appointment TODAY! And there is NO EXTRA Charges being passed onto clients for any PPE requirements at our clinic! It is just part of what we DO! ... See you soon!

DID YOU KNOW? Use Mouthwash along side brushing and flossing TIP! Mouthwash is not particularly necessary and not all mouthwashes are useful. Mouthwashes containing Listerine or chlorine dioxide are very helpful because they help to kill and maintain the bacteria in your mouth. It can help maintain good breath as well as help maintain strong teeth. Mouthwash cannot do all the work but if your are already brushing, flossing, visiting the dentist and eating well, mouthwash is the cherry on top that will make your dental health great.

We hope you are staying cool and hydrated! Enjoy your long weekend... we look forward to seeing you next week!

DID YOU KNOW? Consume Calcium and other Vitamins that are good for the body... You need plenty of calcium for your teeth. It is essential for the teeth as well as your bones. It is better to drink milk, fortified orange juice and to eat yogurt, broccoli, cheese, and other dairy products. You can also take a calcium supplement, taking different doses according to your age and necessity as per prescription. Calcium and Vitamin D are necessary for maintaining the health of gums and teeth. Vitamin B complex is also essential for the protection of gums and teeth from cracking and bleeding. Copper, zinc, iodine, iron and potassium are also required for maintaining healthy dental hygiene.

THNAK YOU! "I've had dental care for a long time, and I take care of myself, but it turns out I did not know what I was doing. You helped me to learn how to take care of myself better. Now that I have been coming regularly I have evidence for the first time that my gum health and attachment have improved and I am sure I will have my teeth for life now. Even though I am not on a dental plan, this method is still affordable, and my oral health is now an important part of my life." ~ Sharon P.

DID YOU KNOW? Limit Sodas, Coffee and Alcohol TIP! Although these beverages contain a high level of phosphorous, which is a necessary mineral for a healthy mouth, too much phosphorous can deplete the bodys level of calcium. This causes dental hygiene problems such as tooth decay and gum disease. Beverages containing additives such as corn syrup and food dye can make pearly white teeth appear dull and discolored. Therefore, it is best to choose beverages like milk, which helps strengthen teeth and build stronger enamel, giving you a healthy, beautiful smile and water which hydrates your body longer than sugary drinks.

Dental hygiene is about more than "cleaning teeth"! The head and neck exam, including the oral cancer screening and periodontal measurements, are done in the dental hygiene clinic. We check for lumps and bumps and other unusual events you may or may not have noticed. Oral cancer is a serious issue - you might as well learn what to look for. Scaling is the process whereby old deposits that have hardened on teeth are removed so inflammation can stop. ... We love showing you how you can help yourself, and save yourself a lot of money by preventing dental repair work and unexpected pain.

DID YOU KNOW? Flossing TIP! We know, its a chore and a lot of times forgetful after brushing if rushing out the door or heading to bed. However, flossing can help you remove food particles and other detrimental substances that brushing regularly cannot. Flossing allows you to reach deep between your teeth where the toothbrush bristles cannot reach or even mouthwash cannot wash away. We recommend flossing at least once a day.

We welcome children of all ages: the sooner, the better.! Children can be seen as soon as they can sit up to have their first visit and introduction to the sights, smells and sounds of a "little dental hygiene" treatment. When dental hygiene visits are productive and fun, children leave feeling at ease, and they will do much better in the future if they ever they need some dental repair work done. ... Of course, regular dental hygiene visits are a great part of preventative health program. Preventive treatments like x-rays, fluoride varnishes and sealants are available here.

DID YOU KNOW? Proper Brushing Tips! One of the easiest steps to do to help your teeth keep clean. When brushing your teeth, position the bristles at an angle of 45 degrees near the gum line. Both the gum line and the tooth surface should be in contact with the bristles. Brush the outer surfaces of the teeth using a back-and-forth, up-and-down motion, making sure to be done gently in order to avoid bleeding. To clean the inside surfaces of the teeth and gums, place the bristl...es at a 45-degree angle again and repeat the back-and-forth, up-and-down motion. Lastly, brush the surfaces of your tongue and the roof of your mouth to remove bacteria, which might cause bad breath. Try to brush at least twice a day to prevent acid buildup from the breakdown of food by bacteria. However, if your work or activities prevent you from doing this, thoroughly rinse your mouth with water after eating to minimize the amount of food that would serve as substrate for the bacteria.
