Remembering...
10 years ago today Dr.Michaels, Robert and their boys packed their bags and moved from Bonita Springs to Spring Hill to start their own dental family which is now MICHAELS CENTER FOR DENTAL EXCELLENCE. Within the past 10 years they have built the beautiful building from ground up that we call home. Today they can say that from day one their goal was to create a safe and professional yet fun welcoming atmosphere that both the patients and the staff can come and be a part of. Here at MCDE we are grateful for each one of you!
Happy happy birthday Tara❤️❤️

Happy Wednesday!!!
The worst culprits of staining teeth are coffee, wine, tea, and cigarette smoke. If you want a brighter smile, it's best to limit or avoid these things entirely.
Flossing is an important part of taking care of your teeth and gums. Flossing at least once a day can help prevent plaque from building up in-between your teeth!
Your diet is essential to healthy living, but did you know that eating right can help prevent tooth decay & gum disease? Drink lots of water, & stay away from sugar-loaded foods and drinks! Your teeth—and body—will thank you later!
You may brush regularly, but are you brushing for long enough? It's recommended to brush for at least two minutes, twice daily!
We love to see our patients smile!
Don't forget to smile today!
All other tissues in our bodies have the power to repair themselves, but our teeth can’t. When damaged, they must be repaired by a skilled dentist using crowns, fillings, or veneers.
As we get older, it becomes more important to maintain our oral health. Skipping dentist appointments or becoming lax on brushing and flossing can lead to gum disease.
Your smile is the first thing people notice when they meet you. Show off your best smile by practicing healthy dental habits!
"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." - William Arthur Ward
We offer a full range of dental services to care for all of your dental needs.

We often treat patients who have neglected to take care of their teeth for long periods of time. This neglect can result in situations where many of the patient’s teeth are decayed, damaged, or even completely missing. When this happens, we often recommend that the patient consider dentures to replace their missing teeth.
According to a recent Time survey, 59 percent of people would rather have a dental appointment than having to sit next to someone who is talking on a cell phone…Who would've thought?
Toss that toothpick! Sure, they may come in handy if you badly need to remove food debris, but toothpicks are not equal to dental floss; they can splinter and break, and using them too aggressively can damage gum tissue.
Your tongue is capable of carrying bacteria, just like your teeth, so brushing your tongue is always important, too!
In addition to brushing and flossing, rinsing your mouth with an antibacterial rinse can help prevent decay and gum problems.
Not a fan of traditional flossing? Try a water flosser instead!
Forty-eight percent of young adults have untagged themselves from photos on Facebook because of their smiles.
In the middle ages, people thought that a dog’s tooth boiled in wine made an excellent mouth rinse to prevent tooth decay.
The three signs to watch out for to see if your dental routine needs some help. Bad breath, tooth pain, and stains. If you noticed that you are dealing with these or they have gotten worse, it is time to improve your dental routine!
Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.
Oral health is connected to other health conditions, so the best way to stay in top form is to pay attention to your whole-body health – maintaining a healthy blood pressure, sugar level, etc.
Even though it’s true that we eventually lose the 20 primary teeth we started with in place of permanent adult teeth, we should still treat them just the same when it comes to dental health.
Every year, kids in North America spend close to half a billion dollars on chewing gum.

Focus on nasal breathing. Breathing through your mouth dries out the saliva and makes you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.
An obscure law in Vermont states that it is illegal for a woman to wear false teeth without the written permission of her husband.
The acidity in red wine has the ability to dissolve your teeth’s surface, making them more susceptible to pigmentation.
“A smile cures the wounding of a frown.” - William Shakespeare
Around 200 A.D., the Romans used a mixture of eggshells, oyster shells, and honey to clean their teeth.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

It is good to work out and stay hydrated, but sometimes those sports drinks make it harder on you. They are filled with lots of sugar, which can cause cavities! Stick to water.
Find a reason to smile today!
Keep smiling because life is a beautiful thing, and there is so much to smile about.
If you ever get a tooth knocked out (and we hope this never happens!), pop it in a glass of milk. This will help to preserve it until a dentist can put it back into place.
Chewing sugar-free gum after a meal can help protect teeth by increasing saliva flow, which naturally washes away bacteria and neutralizes acids.

Proper nutrition means eating a well-balanced diet so that your body can get the nutrients needed for good health and wellness. If your diet is low in the nutrients your body needs, your mouth may have a more difficult time resisting infection.
Drink more water! Yes, water is good for your overall health, but it helps your dental health too. It keeps your gums hydrated and helps filter out any food and bacteria after eating!
Never underestimate the importance of having a person in your life who can always make you smile.

Avoid eating an hour before bed to give your saliva a chance to do its job clearing away food debris and neutralizing acid.
Good oral habits should start early! Make sure the children in your life know how to properly brush and floss their teeth, and do so regularly. Children at the age of 2 can be allowed to brush on their own, though they should still be supervised.
If you’re right-handed, you tend to chew food on your right side. If you’re left-handed, you’ll more likely chew food on the left.
Are you a midnight snacker? If you don’t brush again before going back to bed, just that “one small morsel” can leave food particles and sugar remaining on your teeth for too long, allowing bacteria to feed on them.
Let us give you the smile you deserve!
Did you know there are over 300 kinds of bacteria that can attack your teeth? The good news is that with healthy dental hygiene habits & regular checkups, you can protect your teeth from bacteria and other substances that can weaken teeth and cause decay!

Consuming acidic foods and beverages, such as sports and energy drinks, citrus fruits, wine, and tomatoes, can erode tooth enamel. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming acidic foods and beverages and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth!
