2018 Dental New Year's Resolutions

1/17/2018

Happy new year!

As we move along into this new year, we feel it's important for everyone to follow through on their new year's resolutions. Exercising more, eating more vegetables, more vacations - these are all great ideas. But let's not forget about our teeth!

Here are some new year's resolutions for a healthier mouth and a greater smile:

1.  Brushing and flossing DAILY!
  • This is the most common resolution that we often forget by February
  • Brushing twice and flossing at night will GREATLY help your oral health, better breath, cleaner mouth, and a whiter smile!
  • Stick to it and you will see the results - and so will everyone around you!

2. Less sugary food and drinks
  • As we all know, sugar will lead to cavities
  • Cutting back on candies, sodas, and that extra piece of chocolate cake will significantly reduce your chance of cavities

3. Cut down on smoking
  • Smoking damages the gum and jaw bone, not to mention increasing your risk of oral cancer
  • We know it is not easy to quit - try to reduce your smoking by 1 cigarette per month!

4. Improving your smile
  • For more esthetic goals, see your dentist about improving your smile
  • Maybe it's time for Zoom Teeth Whitening, or you are interested in straightening your teeth with Invisalign!

 Good luck on all of your resolutions! We hope this is the best year ever for you!
