Happy Halloween - Keep Your Teeth Clean!

 Happy Halloween!

Tonight is the night of Halloween Haunts. Little goblins and witches will flock to the streets in search of their sweet treasures. Remember to give your children a flashlight to carry and always accompany them for their safety.

Inspect all candy they bring home before they consume any. However, you decide to divide up their candy consumption remember that hard candies are much worse for their teeth than soft ones. 

Whether you let your ghouls and goblins consume all of their candy in one night (oh the tummy ache) or let them have a specified amount each day, please don't forget to have them brush and floss. As a matter of fact, it is a good rule of thumb to have the brush after every consumption period comes to an end.

Sugar in the mouth is the perfect breeding ground for the plaque to flourish. Do everything you can to minimize the sugar infestation by keeping your mouth and the mouths of your children clean and clear from the sweet stuff. Cavities tend to rise during the final months of the year because our sweet consumption increases beginning with Halloween. You can mitigate this by staying vigilant with your oral health care routines. 

Keep the water consumption up, healthy food consumption regular and along with brushing and flossing you will give your mouth the help it needs to stay healthy and happy. 

As always, should you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to call us!

Happy Haunts tonight!

Tooth Bothering You?

It never ceases to amaze us how long people put up with a tooth that is bothering them. First of all, our teeth should never bother us. If an issue has arisen, and a tooth is exhibiting any type of pain or problem please don't ignore it. These are warning signs that you need to pay strict heed to.

Our bodies are amazing! They run 24/7, healing, nourishing, and keep all systems running so that we can enjoy our lives. However, from time to time our body will let us know that something is wrong.

Problem teeth or sores in the mouth warn us that something is not right. Seek medical attention quickly. We are so disheartened to see some of our patients wait for weeks, and even months, to seek medical treatment. We understand that the fear of pain or financial burden are the two most common reasons people avoid seeing the dentist, but by delaying treatment you actually can make your dental problem much worse. For example, instead of a simple cavity fix, you now face oral surgery because the infection has ensued and progressed to a dangerous level in your gumline.

Don't let fear of the unknown keep you from finding solutions and relief from pain and suffering. Teeth should not bother us. If we take good care of them, they surely will take good care of us.

When was the last time you were in for a checkup? Call us today to schedule an appointment. Keep those pearly whites happy and healthy!

Teeth Are Always in Style

While these memes found at someecards.com can make us chuckle, this one speaks a universal truth. There is not one person with missing teeth that truly feel confident in their smile.

Missing, stained, and crooked teeth are all contributing factors to low self-confidence when approaching other people. This can be especially disquieting in the business world.

With the advanced technology today there are so many options to solve your smile challenges. There is no valid excuse not to get your smile fixed. We have in-house financing options and many financing plans to help you achieve your happy smile goal.

We have seen lives literally transform before our eyes when cosmetic dental work is completed. Tears regularly stream down the faces of our patients who've battled for years with low self-esteem and confidence because their smile was lackluster. They have held back smiles, good ole belly laughs, and simply stopped their face from expressing the joy that they truly felt inside all out of the fear of judgment.

Release yourself from that prison. Let us help you build the smile of your dreams. Start living life and stop living behind a tight-lipped grin. You deserve to be happy and live fully, without inhibition.

Call today to schedule a consult with Dr. Clark and our caring team. We will provide a few viable options to help you make this life-altering decision today.
