Are you a little bit obsessed with the fact that Spring has finally sprung? Perhaps it’s all you can do to keep yourself from running outdoors, shirking your responsibilities, and taking a nice nap in the grass.

As far as your dental care is concerned, we have a couple suggestions for making sure you can enjoy the warmer temperatures, while simultaneously enjoying a healthy, beautiful smile.

3 Answers To Your “When Should I?” Questions
Do you find yourself wanting to ask us questions but you think to yourself that they’re the type of inquiries that might elicit laughter or a roll of the eyes? Are your questions extremely basic and – and a result – you keep them to yourself? Whether you’re asking the simplest oral health question in the world or are interested in a complex topic, we will be happy to offer an answer each and every time. Let’s begin with some frequently asked, “When should I…?” questions to get started.
Quiz: Your Flossing Approach
How do you feel about your dental hygiene? In many cases, we discuss hygiene with patients only to realize they have a very firm grip on brushing – but their certainty about flossing is not so steady. Unfortunately, if you’re doing a great job with twice daily brushing but you’re slacking a bit with the dental floss, you’re simply not going to enjoy the level of oral health you would like to achieve. Find out if your approach to flossing is benefitting your grin – or if you need to make a couple improvements – with a brief quiz.
Bad Breath Quiz: What Should I Do?
Are you recently noticing that you’re suffering from bad breath but finding a solution has not been as easy as you had hoped? Perhaps you have long dealt with this problem – also known as halitosis – and have all but given up hope that you will ever have a freshly scented mouth again. Before you make any assumptions about dental hygiene or what’s going on in your mouth (and why) we encourage you to learn more by looking over a quiz. You may be a bit surprised by what you find.
Is It Stress? Or Sleep Apnea?
We are just approaching April, which means many things. In the world of dental care, one thing it brings to mind is the fact that April is Stress Awareness Month. Surprised that we would be thinking about stress, since it doesn’t seem to have much to do with your oral health? As a matter of fact, both stress and anxiety can have a significant effect on all aspects of your wellbeing, from your ability to feel happy, relaxed, to eat, to sleep, to protect your teeth, and more. For instance, perhaps you have been wondering if your stress is causing your daily fatigue or if you need sleep apnea treatment. Allow us to help you explore this question.

Need To Buy A Better Brush?
