BABY TEETH ARE IMPORTANT‼️‼️

One common misconception some people have about baby teeth is that it's "acceptable" to neglect them, because anyway, they'll eventually be replaced with a new set of adult teeth when they get older.

But this neglect comes with GREAT consequences!

Sadly, I've had some parents come into the clinic and tell me that they had to take their child to the emergency room only to find out that the pain or fever their child was experiencing was caused by infection of their baby tooth/teeth.

Please remember, ✅prevention and ✅early intervention are key to save your little one from experiencing even greater pain.

We're nearing and funny enough, ! (did you get my joke? 🤣)
I want to honor all the mothers and most especially celebrate and congratulate our first time mothers 🤰❤️

Did you know that pregnant mothers are at a ⚠️higher risk⚠️ of obtaining gum disease?

And did you know that you can still get your regular cleanings or fillings done even while pregnant?

Take time to watch this helpful video from the for some useful tips and reminders! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Congratulations on this exciting and busy time of your life! You have so much to think about during pregnancy that it may be easy to overlook your mouth, but...

It’s ! If you want another great alternative to mouthwashes found in the grocery store, you don’t have to look further!

Saltwater🥛has been proven to have some of the following dental benefits:

✅A natural disinfectant against bacteria
✅Promotion of healing of a wound after tooth extraction (bunot)
✅Aids in the reduction of swollen gums associated with gum disease*
✅Warm saltwater has also been found to reduce toothache*

So next time when you’re running short on mouthwash, consider heading for the kitchen! 🧂

Read Me ‼️ Bleeding, swollen gums and toothache have underlying causes that CANNOT be addressed by saltwater alone, please still see your dentist to take care of any dental ailment you may have.
