How often do you have to change your Toothbrush?

Replace toothbrushes every three months or more

frequently if they show signs of wear, become contaminated through contact with another brush or

child, or after a child has an infection. Toothbrushes

should be rinsed after each use and air dried.

 If multiple brushes are stored in the same holder, do not allow them to touch each other.

Teeth Grinding & Night Guard

A large number of people who clench also tend to grind their teeth. Grinding is when you slide your teeth over each other in a back and forth, sideways movement. Often the grinding is a subconscious behavior that is not realized by the bruxer. 

Stress reduction and anxiety management are methods used to treat bruxism and reduce the symptoms, but a DENTAL NIGHT GUARD is the most commonly used treatment method. A night guard is a horseshoe-shaped, retainer-like, plastic appliance with shallow borders that can be worn on either the top or the bottom arch.

Family Day

This day is the best time to spend wonderful moments with the family. Make it up for all the busy days and whether it's a big or small gathering, an out of town trip or a simple bonding time with your loved ones makes the day extraordinary.

Oral Cancer Screening

When you go for your regular dental check up, dentist and hygienist are also screening you for any signs of oral cancer. Every hour of every day, someone dies of oral cancer in the United States. This serious dental disease which pertains to the mouth, lips or throat is often highly curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages. Visiting your dentist for regular check ups and avoiding tobacco are the key factors in preventing oral cancer.
