Fall brings one of our favorite dental villains:
The beverage you sip for hours. ☕️🍁

Coffee. Apple c***r. Sweet tea. Fancy seasonal drinks.

It's not necessarily that you can never enjoy them, but constantly sipping something other than water means your teeth may be exposed to sugars or acids again and again throughout the day.

Enjoy your drink! Then give your mouth a break. 💦

Your mouth and the rest of your body aren't separate systems. ❤🦷

Research has found important connections between oral health - particularly gum disease - and systemic health.

That doesn't mean gum disease causes every health condition you may have seen mentioned online. The science is more complicated than that.

But it does mean taking care of your gums is one more worthwhile part of taking care of your whole body!

Learn more about the oral-systemic connection:

For me, it's been one of the more surprising observations in recent years: study after study has shown that people who have poor oral health (such as gum disease or tooth loss) have higher rates of cardiovascular problems such as heart attack or stroke than people with good oral health. ...

Happy Anniversary to Dr. + Mrs. Wright. We love you and are so thankful for the bright example you give of a truly loving, God-centered marriage. Anyone who knows these two knows they are still as in love as ever and their love, kindness, and generosity overflows onto everyone around them. Share some well wishes with them below...

😬 “I Brush Really Hard Because I Want My Teeth REALLY Clean.”

Your toothbrush isn't a bathroom scrub brush. 😂 More pressure does not necessarily mean cleaner teeth. Brushing too aggressively can contribute to irritation and wear of the gums and tooth surfaces.

Think thorough, gentle, and consistent rather than “scrub until they sparkle.” Your gums prefer a little finesse.

Arrrrr you brushing your teeth?

Because if ye be neglecting them, ye may soon discover buried treasure…and by “treasure,” we mean that piece of food that's been hiding between your teeth all day. 🏴‍☠️😬

So grab your toothbrush, matey - and don't forget to clean between those teeth!

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Dental translation: Keep brushing, flossing, and don't let your smile walk the plank.

🍎 An Apple a Day…doesn't replace brushing and flossing. 😉

But crunchy whole foods can be a great addition to a balanced diet, and chewing can stimulate saliva production.

The bigger picture is what matters:
Your mouth is nourished by what you eat, protected by saliva, cleaned by your daily habits, and supported by professional care (hint: that's us!! 👋).

There isn't one magical “tooth-healthy” food! There are healthy patterns. 💪😁

The old proverb, dating back to 1866, “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread” and soon afterward shortened…

New school year. New schedules. New activities. New routines.

It’s actually a great time to check in on your family’s dental habits, too:
• Are the kids brushing twice a day?
• Are you helping younger children brush thoroughly?
• Is flossing actually happening - or merely being discussed? 😆
• Are everyone’s toothbrushes still in good shape?
• Has everyone had their regular dental visit? (hint: call us!!)

Sometimes the easiest time to build a habit is when everything else is getting a fresh start.

Happy Grandparents Day to the best "Yaya" and "Poppy" and to all of you out there who are raising the next generation of grand babies! ❤
