It’s never too late to quit.

Smoking kills. To***co causes around 8 million deaths every year, including more than 1 million linked to second-hand smoke exposure.

Quitting is possible — and the longer you stay tobacco-free, the healthier you become.

✅ Set a quit date
✅ Tell someone you trust
✅ Talk to a health worker
✅ Replace the addiction with something healthy

Sunday is World No To***co Day.

There’s a real reason dentists stress regular visits. Your mouth and body are irrevocably connected, and with maintenance and cleanings, dentists can identify problems before they get worse, leading to better health outcomes overall.

“Rawr” means “brush your teeth” in dinosaur. 🦕

It’s Memorial Day Weekend. First and foremost, we want to honor the sacrifice of those who give their lives for our nation.

Secondly: because it’s a holiday (albeit rainy here in NJ) many of our usual self-care routines may go out the window. It’s okay to relax and enjoy yourself.

However: remember that you don’t have to practice good habits with an “all or notning” mindset. For instance: “I forgot to brush earlier, so I may as well skip it tonight.”

Many of us, in pursuit of perfection, would rather skip a task than do it halfway. Remember that this is a useless standard to hold yourself to. A quick rinse with mouthwash or a minute of brushing is truly better than nothing! Don’t have access to mouthwash or toothpaste? Your dentist would be THRILLED to hear you did a quick rinse with water - that will do better than nothing.

When vacation disrupts our routines, do what you can!

What are your Memorial Day plans?

Here are some reminders and tips for 🦷⬇️

We know there are many reasons not to go to the dentist: time constraints, energy, anxiety, and cost. However, the truth is that what you don’t invest into your health now, you will pay for later, and with interest.

The health of your mouth determines the health of your whole body and mind. Preventative checkups are necessary to catch things like decay and disease early enough before they become irreversible.

In addition to scheduling a dentist appointment, some things you can do at home:

-Play a song while you brush. Make it fun. Make sure it’s for at least 2 minutes each time.

-Brush on all angles to include the inner, outer and top surfaces of your teeth

-To keep fresh breath, make sure to scrape your tongue to remove any bacteria. You can buy a scraper device specifically for this.

-Keep a pack of floss in your bag or in your car. You never know when you’ll need it (but when you do it seems to always be at the most inconvenient time. Stay prepared!)

-Brush before coffee, not right after. This protects the teeth before the drink even touches them.

-Replace your manual brush every 3-4 months.

-If you forget your floss, toothbrush or mouthwash while traveling, something is better than nothing. Swish the toothpaste around in your mouth if it’s all you have.

Caring for your smile is an investment that will be kind to you for years to come.

🐌 DID YOU KNOW?

Snails may look soft and squishy but, believe it or not, they can have up to 14,000 teeth 🦷 Imagine how long it must take them to floss! 🤣

But here’s the interesting part: those “teeth” aren’t like human teeth-they sit on a ribbon-like tongue called a radula, which works kind of like a cheese grater to scrape food off surfaces. Some snail species actually have even more than 20,000 tiny teeth, and scientists have found that certain mollusk teeth are among the strongest natural materials ever studied. Nature is weird, isn’t it? But so amazing. What fun facts do you know? Share in the comments!
