September is National Gum Care Month!

Did you know that over 60 million Americans struggle with gum disease annually? September is National Gum Care Month! Good oral health care is important every month of the year, but during September we focus on educating patients about the importance of your gum’s health and preventing gum disease.

Follow these dental recommendations to lower your risk of developing gum disease:

1. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and ADA-approved fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes. Remember to brush at an angle on every surface of your teeth as well as along and around your gum line.
2. Replace your toothbrush every 3 months or once the bristles become worn
3. Floss once a day to remove bacteria, plaque, and food debris that your toothbrush can’t reach
4. Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash to remove unwanted bacteria
5. Schedule and attend routine dental exams and cleanings to monitor your oral health
6. Eat a well-balanced diet
7. Drink plenty of water daily

Call the office if you suspect you may be developing gum disease. The sooner you are diagnosed and begin treatment, the higher your chance of successful treatment and recovery!

On August 13th in 1992, 'International Left-Handers Day' was created. This is an annual event where left-handers everywhere can celebrate their sinistrality and increase public awareness of the advantages (and disadvantages) of being left-handed.

These events have contributed to the general awareness of the difficulties left-handers experience in everyday life, and have successfully led to improved product designs.

On Left-Handers Day, it's encouraged for right-handed people to do activities with their left hand... It's harder than you think!

National Fresh Breath Day is celebrated on August 6 every year as a way of promoting oral health and hygiene. None of us would want to be in the company of someone who has foul breath — be it the smell of onions, garlic, or just poor oral hygiene! Bad breath can be a downer without you even knowing about it. It’s a social faux pas that will have people avoiding you at the office, at parties, or whenever you step out. National Fresh Breath Day promotes the importance of fresh breath and reminds us to check up on our oral health!

The easiest way to take care of our teeth and gums is by committing to a dental hygiene routine that includes brushing our teeth two times a day, flossing, and regularly visiting the dentist. Even though most of us follow the basic dental hygiene routine, we might not know that over 50% of the bacteria found in the human mouth leads to bad breath. Brushing twice a day and using mouthwash is the most common and obvious way of preventing this.

If you are overdue for your check-up, give us a call to schedule! 440-944-3000
