Though it might feel like the year just started for some of us, believe it or not, there are just a few months left of 2024! This means that if you haven’t attended your second routine checkup of the year (or your first), now is the time to get it scheduled.

Routine preventive care plays a very integral role in maintaining a healthy smile. Even if you brush and floss every single day, it’s simply not possible to clear away every particle of debris or bacteria. Do yourself a favor by keeping up with these visits, so that you can end 2024 with a bright and healthy grin on your face!

We’re now well into September, so here’s a reminder that this month is also National Gum Care Month! Even though you should be brushing, flossing, and caring for your teeth and gums year-round, it never hurts to spend some extra time each September to read up and understand how to ensure you’re free of gum disease and other nasty problems.

Remember, your gums are just as important as your pearly whites, so take the time to care for them diligently and your smile will thank you!

Today we recognize National School Picture Day, a day designated to celebrate the worldwide tradition of schools taking photos of their students. School pictures serve as a way to capture a moment in time during a student’s academic journey, and there’s also no better chance to smile brightly and proudly!

That said, give your smile the spotlight it deserves, whether you’re a current student or not, by brushing and flossing daily and confidently showing off your camera-ready smile!

The human body is a masterpiece, and we have the ability to heal ourselves after all sorts of different injuries and recover from various types of illnesses. However, did you know that your teeth are technically the only body parts you have that are incapable of healing on their own?

The enamel layer of your teeth, or their outermost layer, can sustain damage due to chronically poor oral hygiene, bruxism, or other dental issues. In these cases, dental intervention is often needed – but in any case, it’s best to try to prevent this damage from occurring in the first place.

You already know what we’re going to say – brush and floss daily and keep up your routine checkups. Even though your teeth won’t heal themselves, you can simply reduce the need for healing by taking proactive care of them!

These days, toothpaste comes in several different types and flavors – there’s even bacon-flavored toothpaste for the many foodies out there! Of course, it’s hard to top the classic, icy peppermint flavor that many of us opt for.

However, despite how modern this oral hygiene product may seem, did you know that toothpaste originated in Ancient Greece? Back then, everything from pumice, talc, alabaster, and coral powder, to even iron rust was used as toothpaste. Thankfully, toothpaste today is much safer and effective, not to mention, better tasting!

Do you pay close attention to how much dental floss you use each time you floss your teeth? It’s easy to get a little carried away – and you might accidentally pull off a strand that’s way longer than you need! The magic number is 18 inches; this ensures you have enough length to wrap it comfortably around your fingers so that it can then be used to easily clean every space between your teeth.

Of course, you can always instead opt for using a dental flosser to make things simpler; as long as you’re flossing, that’s what’s important!

When was the last time you replaced your toothbrush? If you can’t remember, it’s probably time to pick out a new one!

Toothbrushes need to be replaced every three months, or sooner if you’ve been sick. An easy way to tell if your brush is ready to be replaced is to check the bristles; if they’re worn and fraying, they’ll be less effective at cleaning your teeth!

August is just about to end, which means autumn is right around the corner. And there’s no better time than the fall to schedule a preventive dental visit; you’ll be setting your smile up for excellent health going into the remainder of the year.

Not to mention, with so many exciting holidays coming up these next few months, you should want your pearly whites to glow brightly for every photo op!

Have you ever found yourself reaching for a toothpick to remove a stuck piece of food debris from your teeth? This is actually unwise! Toothpicks are believed to be one of the most common objects that Americans choke on; not to mention, it’s very possible for them to splinter into smaller pieces and cause damage to the soft issues within your mouth.

Rather than risk dental injury, do your smile a favor and use dental floss or swish water around your mouth for this task!

When talking about cavities, it’s tough to iterate just how common they actually are. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 2 billion people worldwide have untreated cavities – this is an alarming figure! And in the US alone, at least 26% of adults have untreated cavities.

It goes without saying that the best way to prevent cavities is routine preventive dental care combined with a diligent at-home hygiene regimen; this statistic isn’t one you want to be a part of!

Happy National Tooth Fairy Day! Today we recognize the importance of this special figure who assured us while growing up that it was perfectly okay for our baby teeth to fall out – and that you can even profit from it!

This isn’t a case of déjà vu; this day is observed twice every year, once in February and again in August! It just goes to show how important the Tooth Fairy is, as well as how important dental hygiene is.
