Happy Spring!

Spring is here!  Time to open windows, dust away the cobwebs, and freshen your home!  But don’t forget your smile, spring cleaning is great for your mouth too!  Even with regular daily brushing and flossing, a routine cleaning at the dentist is an important part of a healthy spring routine.  We highly recommend twice-annual examination and cleaning, with x-rays as needed.  According to the Academy of General Dentistry, getting a professional cleaning at least twice a year has a significant impact on the quality of a person’s long-term oral health.

Here are a few tips for keeping your mouth healthy in between dental visits:

•   Brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day
•   Use a fluoridated toothpaste when brushing
•   Floss your teeth everyday
•   Use a soft bristled toothbrush
•   Store your toothbrush upright
•   Eat fruits and raw vegetables
•   Chew sugarless gum with xylitol
