Did you know Stress can contribute to a variety of health complications including periodontal disease?
The body releases Cortisol when experiencing stress, which can intensify the destruction of the gums and bone due to periodontal disease.

Happy Summer!
Friendly reminders for your oral health this summer:
1 - Keep your dental routine through the fun summer activities.
2 - Avoid Extra Sugars. Choose the healthy options.

May the joy of Spring uplift you today
Did you know that carrots are not only good for your eyes, but they’re actually beneficial for your teeth as well! Eating vegetables and fiber-rich fruits can stimulate saliva production that rinses away bacteria and food debris after meals and help keep gums and teeth clean.
Milk and cheese are rich in calcium, a mineral that strengthens bones and teeth. The consumption of dairy foods help to fight tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel.
Almonds are a great source of vitamins and minerals and can help clean your teeth. Chewing almonds can gently remove plaque and strengthen the gums. It is dentally recommended to eat almonds chopped or sliced. 😉
A dental reminder during the COVID-19 outbreak:
Stay committed to your dental routines!
Brush your teeth 2-3 times a day - Brushing after meals helps remove food debris and plaque trapped between your teeth and gums. Don’t forget to include your tongue, bacteria loves to hide there.
Floss - Flossing at least once a day helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth and along the gum line that your toothbrush can’t quite reach.
