Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Global Running day is a day that people all over the world celebrate by running long distances, short distances, or even just getting out to walk the dog!
We all know that having good cardiovascular health, but what impact do sports like running have on your oral health? It may surprise you that you have to take a little extra care for your teeth when you exercise.
Athletes tend to breathe heavily through their mouths, causing dry mouth and an increase in bacteria. The main fuel sources for athletes are carbs in the form of sugary sports drinks and energy bars, which all combined lead to increased tooth decay and erosion of tooth enamel.
The best way to keep up your dental health as well as your cardiovascular health is to drink plenty of water to help flush out excess sugars and bad bacteria in your mouth, keep up your at-home care, and regular visits to our office for dental cleanings — contact us today to schedule!

As the weather starts to get warmer, don't forget that the best drink you can hydrate and cool down with is water. Sugary drinks lead to tooth decay and stained teeth, while water has nothing but positive effects on your oral health!

Has it been more than 6 months since your child has had a dental checkup?
The American Dental Association recommends that children see a dentist every six months, so if your last visit was in the fall, your child is due for their next visit to make sure their teeth are growing correctly, properly cared for, and to catch any small problems before they become big problems.
Now is the perfect time to book for summer break so you can get your dental visit done before all your fun summer activities!

We never plan to have a toothache. However, when they do occur, Endontic Therapy (also known as Root Canal Treatment) can usually get you back on track without missing a beat.
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges.
Signs and symptoms can include:
✅ Temperature sensitivity to hot and cold foods and liquids
✅ A darkening of the tooth
✅ Sudden pain in the tooth
✅ Bite discomfort, tenderness of the surrounding gum tissues, swelling or any combination of these

May is Save Your Tooth Month, a time to shine a spotlight on the importance of saving natural teeth and the specialists who make it possible: endodontists! Endodontists specialize in root canal treatment, diagnosing and relieving tooth pain and saving teeth from cracks and trauma.
Save Your Tooth Month focuses on empowering patients with knowledge about how modern endodontic care can prevent tooth loss, eliminate dental pain, and enhance quality of life. Remember, it's key to catch potential problems early with regular checkups and cleanings.

Warmer weather is the time for sports! If you play a sport, or your child does, make sure to follow these three guidelines for a tooth-happy season:
1️⃣ Wear a mouthguard during practices and games to protect your teeth, lips, tongue, face and jaw against injuries.
2️⃣ Reach for water instead of sugary sports drinks. These drinks are often filled to the brim with sugar and artificial dyes that can weaken enamel and stain your teeth.
3️⃣ Remember to brush and floss daily, and follow other dentist-recommended practices to keep teeth healthy and strong, since weak teeth are more susceptible to injuries.
