“How much radiation am I getting from dental x-rays?”

Probably less than you think.

Fun fact: a single dental x-ray is roughly equivalent to the radiation you’d get from eating a banana. 🍌

With modern digital x-rays, radiation exposure is extremely low while still allowing us to diagnose cavities, infections, bone loss, and other problems that can’t be seen with the naked eye.

Take a look at the chart below for some surprising comparisons!

Xylitol gum may help reduce your risk of cavities, especially when used several times throughout the day after meals and snacks.

Sometimes the smallest habits can make a big difference for your smile. 🦷

🦷 Straight teeth are great. Healthy teeth are even better.

Braces create lots of places for plaque to hide, making routine cleanings more important than ever.

The purple color in these photos is a disclosing solution, a harmless dye that temporarily stains plaque and biofilm so we can see exactly where brushing may be missing the mark.

Regular hygiene visits help remove plaque buildup, support healthy gums, and keep your smile looking its best throughout orthodontic treatment.

When the braces come off, the goal isn’t just straight teeth… it’s healthy teeth too! ✨😁

💗🌵 Keep up with your routine cleanings and exams during orthodontic treatment. Your future smile will thank you!

Little hands need a little help! 🦷💗

Let them brush first, then go back and help them finish. A healthy smile starts early!

🌴☀️ Our dental assistant Kayla took a little piece of Cactus Pear Dental all the way to the Bahamas!

Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for Cincinnati to get the memo that summer is right around the corner. 😎🌊

Until the warm weather officially arrives, be sure to ask for a complimentary Cactus Pear koozie at your next appointment. They’re perfect for pool days, beach trips, lake weekends, and backyard BBQs.
