October is National Dental Hygiene Month! 🦷✨ It’s a great time to thank the hygienists who keep our smiles healthy, and to brush up on your own routine. The basics make the biggest difference: brush twice a day for two minutes, floss daily, rinse, and chew sugar-free gum after meals. With Halloween candy coming up, those habits matter even more! 🎃 When was your last cleaning? Call us to book your next visit.

Did you know your dentist might spot acid reflux before you do? 🦷

Heartburn isn’t the only sign. Stomach acid that creeps up into your mouth can quietly wear down tooth enamel, especially on the back teeth.

This article breaks down the symptoms of acid reflux, including some that might surprise you 👇

If any of these sound familiar, mention them at your next visit. We can check for enamel wear and help protect your smile. 💙

Your mouth is always talking. Are you listening? 👄🦷
Dental problems usually start small:
🩸 Gums that bleed when you brush
🧊 One tooth that’s sensitive to cold
😬 Pain when you bite down
😴 A sore jaw in the morning
Catch them early and they’re usually an easy fix. Ignore them, and they can turn into something bigger.
