DENTAL TIP TUESDAY! ✨🦷

Did you know that brushing your tongue is an important part of your oral hygiene routine?

Your tongue can collect bacteria that contributes to bad breath and plaque buildup. 👅

Next time you brush your teeth, don’t forget to gently brush your tongue too!

Our Affordable Smiles Dental team says: Brush your teeth AND your tongue! 😁🪥

Happy National Fresh Breath Day from Affordable Smiles of Hammond! 💜

Fresh breath is more than just minty gum – it's also a sign of good health.

Brush. Floss. Hydrate. Visit your dentist regularly to keep smiling with confidence every day! 🌟

A few extra tips to keep your breath fresh:
🦷 Brush your tongue, not just your teeth – bacteria love to hide there
💧 Drink water throughout the day to keep your mouth from drying out
🚫 Cut back on sugary snacks and coffee, which feed odor-causing bacteria
🪥 Swap your toothbrush every 3 months for a cleaner clean

Small habits, big results – schedule your visit today!

Happy to have you on board, Christy! 😁

Meet the Team: Dental Hygienist Spotlight! 🦷

This month we're shining the spotlight on Christy, one of our amazing dental hygienists at Affordable Smiles of Houma !Get to know the smiling face behind the mask 😊

What inspired you to become a dental hygienist?
"Two nurses I worked with in the ER talked me into going back to school, and one specifically said I should be a dental hygienist and took me to Dr. Jason Ray's office to sit with his hygienist. I decided yes from there. A huge thank you to Darnell Toups and Melissa Long!"

What do you love most about helping patients?
"The relationships I make with them and watching how much their oral hygiene improves (most of the time)!"

What made you want to join Affordable Smiles of Houma?
"I was in need of a change, and Karen called me saying it would be a great place to work."

What can patients expect when sitting in your chair?
"I never shut up, and I honestly care about their health and well-being!"

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
"Spending time with my family, cooking, swimming in the pool, going to concerts, and hitting the beach as much as I can with my family in the summer."

Favorite local spot?
"Cristiano's and The Bunker, both in Houma!"

Fun fact about yourself?
"I talk a lot (it usually distracts people) — I like to think I have a fun, crazy personality!"

What always makes you smile?
"When my kids are happy and healthy, joyful satisfied patients, and always, always a beach."

Thanks for all you do, Christy! 💜 We're lucky to have you on our team.

Welcome to the team, Dr. Gaspard! 🦷

Join us in welcoming Dr. Thomas Gaspard to our team! 🦷👏🏼

Dr. Gaspard recently earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from LSU Health New Orleans School of Dentistry, graduating in 2026. We are excited to have him bring his passion for patient care and commitment to excellence to our practice.

When asked what inspired him to pursue dentistry, Dr. Gaspard shared that he wanted a career where he could make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Dentistry allows him to combine his passion for helping others with his love of science and working with his hands. Just as importantly, it gives him the opportunity to build lasting relationships with patients while helping improve their health, confidence, and quality of life.

While Dr. Gaspard enjoys all aspects of dentistry, he has a particular passion for surgical dentistry. He finds it incredibly rewarding to guide patients through treatments that can dramatically improve their oral health and overall well-being, and he loves seeing the transformation that takes place from beginning to end.

His goal for every patient is simple: to leave feeling heard, comfortable, and confident. Dr. Gaspard believes every patient deserves care in a welcoming and supportive environment where their concerns are valued and respected.

Outside of the office, you'll likely find him hunting, fishing, cheering on the LSU Tigers, or searching for his next favorite local restaurant. 🐅🎣

For patients who may feel nervous about visiting the dentist, Dr. Gaspard wants them to know they're not alone. Dental anxiety is very common, and his team is committed to creating a comfortable experience where patients feel informed, respected, and in control of their care every step of the way. 💜

We're thrilled to have Dr. Gaspard on our team at Affordable Smiles of Baton Rouge and can't wait for you to meet him! Help us give him a warm welcome in the comments below! 😁
