Everyone loves a clean mouth, right? And we think keeping that mouth of yours clean on the regular is worth celebrating. In fact, we think it’s worth celebrating not just for a day, but for an entire month; hence, the recognition of the month of October as National Dental Hygiene Month.
This month is dedicated to promoting healthy mouths all across the country, and celebrating the hard work your favorite dental hygienist does to keep your pearly whites squeaky clean.
Help us welcome our newest dental assistant, Crystal, to the Dakota Family Smiles family! We are so excited to have you here, welcome Crystal!

Benefits of Visiting your dentist regularly...
You Will Save Money on Overall Healthcare
Because dental health is linked to your overall health in SO many ways, Dr. Laskin points out that visiting the dentist regularly will help reduce your overall healthcare costs. "Visiting the dentist regularly is an important part of maintaining your health. Research continues to build showing deeper connections between oral health and overall health including the conclusion that periodontal treatment reduces hospital admissions and lowers annual medical costs," he explains."

BRUSHING TECHNIQUE
1-Get the right angle
For the most effective brushing, tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle.
2-Get the motion down
Gently move the toothbrush back and forth. Be careful not to be too rough!
3- Cover all surfaces
Get inside, outside, top, bottom, and everywhere in between.
4- Don't forget the tongue
Loads of bacteria lives on your tongue so make sure you remember to brush that. Bonus points for fresher breath, too.

🥳HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DENTAL HYGIENE MONTH🥳
🦷Floss Every Day
Much controversy exists around flossing, but we are here to tell you (with the advice of dentists backing us) that flossing is something you should be doing every day. There are things that brushing just can’t take care of, and that’s where flossing comes in.
🦷Brush Twice a Day for Two Minutes
Brushing your teeth twice a day doesn’t only help battle morning breath and that lingering gross taste in your mouth, it also helps reduce the chances that you will develop gum disease. So every morning and every night, squeeze that toothpaste onto your toothbrush and get brushing, for two solid minutes.
🦷Rinse With Mouthwash
Another thing that people think is optional with oral hygiene is mouthwash. But, according to dental hygienists, it shouldn’t be. Aim to make rinsing with mouthwash a regular occurrence after you brush and floss. This antimicrobial rinse will help keep your mouth clean and will do wonders for your breath.

Holiday Hours .
This is our hygienist, Allison’s twin sister. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Allison Thiel is with Kristi Bumann Becker and 4 others.
December 28 at 1:13 PM ·
In the early hours of December 27, my sister Angela Becker and her husband Brandon Becker had a fire in their home and it was a total loss. Brandon was burned in the fire and is currently at Regions Burn Center in St. Paul, MN. He sustained 25% total body burns.
The Becker Family Benefit Fund has been set up at Security First Bank of ND. Local address is 700 Ash Ave New Salem, ND 58563 and phone number is 701-843-7523.
There is also a Venmo account set up for donations as well. (See attached photo- @abbecker ). We will not be setting up a Go Fund Me account.
We want to thank all of our friends, family, and community members who have already dropped off donations. It’s very powerful to see a community come together in times of need. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. This experience is absolutely devastating.
**Thank you for the tremendous generosity. The kids have received enough clothing at this time.**
Please share this post- I would like to reach as many people as possible.
Please help us to wish Dana a HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY!!
We hope your day is filled with lots of laughter and happiness! Happy Birthday Dana!

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!
This is a project of the American Dental Association and Crest + Oral B.
By providing quality care for children’s dental needs and health education to parents and children from the youngest of ages, we can instill a life-long appreciation for maintaining good oral health. 🦷😁
🍎An apple a day may keep the dentist away🍎
Parents can help children prevent tooth decay and cavities by monitoring their eating habits. Offer children healthy snack alternatives such as apples, bite-size carrots or other foods that are naturally sweet, and instruct children to avoid candies, chocolate, and other foods that contain refined sugar.

Eating and drinking habits are key to healthy teeth
🦷Studies have shown that children who drink fluoridated water from birth have up to 65 percent fewer cavities, and by the time they become teenagers, many of them still have no tooth decay.
🦷A balanced diet is also an important contributor to healthy teeth and gums. Children especially need calcium, which helps build strong teeth. Good sources of calcium are milk, cheese and yogurt. Research shows that eating cheese after meals seems to inhibit the effects of decay-causing acids. Avoid snacks containing sugar or starch.
