Having a Holiday Smile

How is your smile holding up during the holiday festivities? Here are some pointers for having a healthy smile throughout the party season.

Keep your mouth as clean as you can. This means cleaning in-between your teeth every day with something; floss, toothpicks, Soft Picks by GUM or flosser-picks.
Be careful of very hard candies and peanut brittle, if you have a tooth that is already weakened by large fillings, it can break off if you bite down in just the right spot.
Brush at least two times every day! This will keep the bacteria “moving” so they don’t get a chance to cause disease.
Clean the top of your tongue–bacteria set up shop there just like they do around your teeth and gums. A plastic tongue cleaner is more effective than your toothbrush.
Of course, get your rest and physical activity to keep your whole body ticking!

Schedule a smile maintenance to make sure that gum disease is not creeping up on you. Early detection and treatment can help you save your teeth and your smile!

Healthy Gums

…where clean teeth are our business. We believe that a clean and healthy mouth can promote a healthier body. Researchers are now making direct connections between the bacteria in the mouth, mostly involved in periodontal (gum) disease, and conditions like heart disease and diabetes. One of our goals is to help you find the simplest way for you to have a clean, healthy mouth.

Many patients have dental needs and so we try to match you up with a dentist who will meet your dental, financial and personality needs. We use digital dental x-rays so your total dose is reduced by about 90% compared to regular film dental x-rays. You, the patient, are our number one concern at Aabsolutely Smiles. Come in and find out how a healthy mouth can change your life!
