Back to School Smiles
Summer always seems to fly by, doesn't it? As a new school year and extracurricular activities begin again, it's important to get back into the swing of things with healthy oral care habits.
Here are a few things you can do to take care of your smile and have a healthy, happy school year ahead:
Re-establish a dental routine and go to bed earlier to fight fatigue and excess snacking
Incorporate water and teeth-friendly foods in packed lunches to prevent plaque from building up
Encourage mouth-guard use for sports and activities to protect those strong, pearly whites
And of course, make sure to book your hygiene appointments in advance before life gets too busy!
Implementing good oral care habits go much further for your overall well-being than just having bright and shiny teeth, so making these rituals lighthearted and fun is essential in keeping them consistent. And when you're ready to get your routine checkup in the books, you can schedule an appointment with us below.

No matter who you are, everyone can benefit from keeping an eye on their sugar intake. Consuming too much sugar on a regular basis not only can lead to diabetes and tooth decay, but can cause an increase of inflammation in the body, obesity, gut dysbiosis, premature aging, and even depression. An accessible way to keep these things at bay is to reach for more whole fruits and vegetables, grains, and high-fiber foods, rather than highly processed snacks.
