Happy Thanksgiving! This holiday is a time to catch up with family members, consider all you have to be grateful for in your life, and eat an excellent feast of foods. However, this celebration is no time to slack on your dental care! Having to deal with a filling would really put a damper on the rest of the holiday season. To help you have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving, we’ve compiled these five tips:
Tooth brushing is essential for good oral health, but it must be timed correctly to avoid actually contributing to dental damage. It may seem that brushing after meals would be optimal to prevent food particles from staying around to feed bacteria. In reality, brushing immediately after eating can damage the teeth directly and pave the way to future decay.
Foods that are sugary can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease, but certain foods can actually help make your teeth whiter. In fact, a few of the best foods for keeping a brighter smile are popular healthy snacks. Here are foods that can complement treatment from our Holly Springs cosmetic dentist.
Have you noticed your smile isn’t as bright and sparkling as it used to be? You’ve probably noticed over the years our smiles tend to fade. Our teeth start to get stained from a daily cup of coffee and/or wine. The fillings you received years ago are starting to break down, making them susceptible to staining.
What does it take to get the smile of your dreams? For those who want a beautiful, sparkling smile the best course of action is to see a cosmetic dentist. The best cosmetic dentists will not only provide the procedures needed to give their patients their best smile ever, they explain why these procedures are needed.
