Can you believe it’s already Fall? It may be time to replace your child's toothbrush or maybe teach them a new healthy habit. How about flossing for Fall? Watch this video with your kids and “fall” in love with flossing. 💚🦷
Sippy cups are a great way to transition your toddler off the bottle. The only time we recommend you give your child anything but water is during mealtimes. If your little one is sipping on liquids containing sugar (like milk or juice) throughout the day, the sugar increases bacteria growth and your child’s risk of cavities.
With heavy hearts, we remember the families, friends, and first responders who lost their lives as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. We will never forget. #NeverForget

Chronic gingivitis is a type of gum disease common in children. It usually causes gum tissue to swell, turn red, and bleed easily.
Gingivitis is both preventable and treatable with regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental care. #MouthBodyConnection

Have a safe and funfilled Halloween! 🎃
Aggressive periodontitis can affect young people who are otherwise healthy. This can typically be found in teenagers and young adults and mainly affects the molars and incisors. When diagnosing this condition, the dentist will look for severe alveolar bone loss, the bone that forms the tooth socket. Ironically, patients generally form very little dental plaque or calculus. #MouthBodyConnection

Today we solemnly remember those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
You can help your child establish good dental hygiene habits early and the importance of brushing twice a day cannot be emphasized enough. No matter how long they require your assistance in their oral healthcare, your involvement and example early on are crucial to their success.
If your child is giving you a hard time about brushing, try to make the experience more enjoyable for them.
✅ Let them choose their toothbrush and toothpaste.
✅ Play them a 2-minute tune. 🎶
⭐ Oral-B has a cool Disney Magic Timer App to help kids brush for 2-minutes.
⭐ YouTube is loaded with fun toothbrushing songs and nursery rhymes designed for kids, just search “toothbrush songs for kids”

What is a Periodontist?
A Periodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, also referred to as gum disease. A Periodontist focuses on the areas of the mouth surrounding the teeth, including the gums, bones, and connective tissues.
Periodontists are top experts in their field and must complete a minimum of three years of dental school followed by a minimum of three years of specialized training in periodontics before treating patients.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours 🎅💚
We are keeping our patients and team members safe during their time at our office. 💙

We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care don’t just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections.

🦷A damaged filling
🦷Repetitive motions, such as chewing gum or grinding teeth
