Important Update for our Patients
Mouthwash is a surefire way to freshen your breath. Use a mouthwash that is sugar and alcohol-free. Sugar is already bad for your teeth and we all know that alcohol stings. Too much alcohol can actually dry out the tissues in your mouth and make them more susceptible to bacteria.

Happy #flossfriday! Flossing your teeth is vital for healthy mouths. Toothbrushes can't reach those tight spaces between your teeth. Floss gently and take it one tooth at at time. This should be done daily with your brushing routine-- it doesn't matter if you floss or brush first.

Remember this helpful piece of advice if a permanent tooth is ever knocked out: hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, place the tooth in a glass of milk or at the very least keep it moist with water then get to your dentist as quickly as possible.
