Dental Hygiene With A Twist
October is the perfect time to focus on tooth decay prevention! Caries Disease Awareness Month helps spread the word about how common cavities are and the importance of preventing them.
It’s that time of year again—National Health Center Week (NHCW)! This week-long celebration shines a spotlight on the incredible work that health centers do every day to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or insurance status, has access to essential healthcare services, including dental care.
Community dental clinics are an essential resource, providing high-quality care to those who face barriers in accessing dental services. They provide essential dental services to underserved populations, and the professionals working in these clinics are just as dedicated and skilled as those in private practice.
As the temps continue to soar higher, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated – not just for your overall health, but for your oral health too!
Traveling this summer doesn’t have to mean compromising your oral health. With a little preparation and mindfulness, you can enjoy your vacation while keeping your teeth and gums in top condition.
While “Veneer Techs” might offer a seemingly attractive option with lower costs and faster service, the expertise and assurance provided by a licensed dentist are indispensable.
A healthy smile is not just about aesthetics; it’s a vital part of your overall well-being. Good oral health contributes to better digestion, heart health, and more. So, let’s make oral hygiene habits that stick!
Preventive dentistry helps you keep a healthy mouth. Preventive services such as dental hygiene care help you maintain the health of your teeth and decrease your need for additional dental treatment
Oral health and nutrition have a bidirectional relationship. Nutrition and diet affect the health of the mouth, and the health of the mouth affects nutrients consumed due to an inability to eat because of a compromised oral cavity.
Dental healthcare professionals are part of the patient’s healthcare team. I do not separate the mouth from my patient’s body. Sure! Dentistry’s focus is the oral cavity, it’s a health specialty, but it does not negate the fact that we are trained professionals who can consult with patients about simple health issues that can lead them back to their primary care physician.
