Carrots are a great snack for teeth. Their natural crunch helps produce saliva, which can wash away bacteria. Plus, carrots are loaded with vitamin A and keratin to help build enamel and keep gums healthy. So be sure to pack carrots in your lunch bag for a quick, healthy option.

Children often have spaces between their baby teeth to allow for larger permanent teeth to grow in and fill in the spaces. Not only are these gaps normal, but they can also make it easier to clean between teeth and allow permanent teeth to grow in straight.

Brushing at least twice a day is great, but flossing is important too! Flossing not only gets the little bits of food stuck between the teeth, but it also removes plaque from areas that toothbrushes can’t reach. Keep your teeth healthy by flossing every day!

Whitening trays are a great option for safely whitening your teeth. We custom-make trays for your mouth so they won’t shift or leak, which reduces the risk of gum irritation. Ask us about teeth whitening at your next visit.

Helping someone else care for their teeth and gums isn’t always easy. They may not be able to brush or floss but it's important not to let those habits slide. Keeping the mouth clean lowers the risk of bacteria in the mouth moving into the lungs and causing infections. Ask us about special tools that can help when brushing and flossing another person’s teeth.

Be sure to pay attention to your loved one’s eating habits if they wear dentures, as they may be having discomfort and need their dentures adjusted or replaced.

No matter the age or mobility, a clean and healthy mouth is important for overall health.
