July 3rd through August 11th are known as the Dog Days of Summer. In addition to enjoying summertime fun, here are 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲:
1. Beat the Heat & Drink Water – keep hydrated and keep your mouth moist to help your saliva wash away bacteria and food particles between brushing.
2. Eat healthy foods - try to avoid sugary foods that cause plaque buildup and lead to cavities and tooth decay. Satisfy your sweet cravings with delicious summer fruits like watermelon and peaches!
3. Avoid Chewing on Ice - crunching on ice could chip or break a tooth. Drink a cold glass of water to keep cool!
4. Stay on your oral health routine – Brush & Floss 2x day. If you haven’t replaced your toothbrush in a while, now is a great time to use a new, soft-bristled brush.
5. Keep your dental appointments or make yours before you get busy with back-to-school preparation.

June is an exciting month for us as we celebrate National Smile Month and raise awareness about the vital connection between oral health and Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness.

Did you know that research suggests a potential link between oral health and Alzheimer's? According to a study conducted by Harvard Medical School, the bacteria that causes gingivitis (gum disease), Porphyromonas gingivalis, "can move from the mouth to the brain. Once in the brain, the bacteria release enzymes called gingipains that can destroy nerve cells, which can lead to memory loss and eventually Alzheimer's."

Good oral hygiene practices may help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments. So be sure to:
1. Brush twice a day
2. Floss daily
3. Eat a balanced diet
4. Limit sugary snacks and drinks
5. Schedule and attend regular dental visits

Sara Blau, Financial Coordinator of Rich Orthodontics, shines in our employee spotlight for June 2023!

Sara has been in the dental industry for twenty years, eight of which have been with Pure Dental Brands. Sara originally attended school as a medical assistant and ultrasound tech, graduating as an RMA. However, after working in the medical field with one year of internal medicine/neurology and five years in pediatrics, she decided to transition into the dental industry - starting in general dentistry, then oral surgery, and now orthodontics. Lucky for us! Sara didn't just start as a financial coordinator; she also wore the hat as Office Manager, Offsite Trainer, and Front Desk. We can surely appreciate her dedication and longevity, contributing unmatched valuable skills.

When asked, "Why do you ?" Sara explained out of the various reasons she can mention, the most important is that her "hard work does not go unnoticed, and [she] feels appreciated and trusted when it comes to [her] work ethic." She also enjoys her flexibility with working at multiple Rich Orthodontics locations and being hands-on, leading to comfort for herself, the staff, and the patients. Post-pandemic, she can work remotely from home, which she loves. One thing Sara would tell prospective patients about Rich Orthodontics is that "the entire company, from the receptionist to the doctor, will strive to make you and your family as comfortable as we can. Our company takes pride in our work and wants nothing but the best experiences for all." She always tells the patients, "Once you start treatment, we are like family now; we will see each other on a regular basis for the next two years."

Sara feels her most significant accomplishment while working for Pure Dental Brands has been "coming into the company with so much experience but being placed as call center staff and climbing my way up the ladder, gaining the trust of my higher ups to count on me to get the job done" and while being moved into higher positions, being able to prove her experience and knocking the job roles "out of the park." As she reflects upon her biggest inspiration within the company, Dr. Mohammad Arabs come to mind. He always told her, "No matter who you are or where you come from, you can do whatever you put your heart and mind to; just stay persistent." This is such a great message that all can surely appreciate hearing. She also recognizes Sammantha Root for all she has taught Sara about self-control and handling certain unfavorable situations. Sammantha's career journey helps motivate and push Sara to be a better version of herself daily.

Sara is a mother of two children, ages 23 and 17. She has two grandchildren, which she shares with her fiance, a life-long partner of 20 years. She also has two rescue dogs, a chihuahua and a hound. Sara enjoys swimming and meditation, the beach life and Pocono Mountains. She enjoys riding ATVs, playing miniature golf, playing cards, dominoes, and sports such as football. She balances her active outdoor lifestyle with spa days, traveling, shopping, barbecuing during the Summer, and relaxing around the fire pit drinking hot cocoa and making smores in Winter. "I love a good laugh, and I have a passion for sports cars and sneakers. I am also a horror movie lover and will curl up with a comfy blanket and some good snacks for family movie night. All in all, I am a versatile person and just love to have fun and live in the moment. I am always open to a new adventures. But when it comes to business, I am a very serious person, and I get it done; people can always count on me!

We are proud to have Sara on the Pure Dental Brands team. We appreciate her dedication and work for Rich Orthodontics; she IS part of what makes us a .

Congratulations, Sara Blau, for being our June 2023 !

A healthy mouth starts with a healthy lifestyle. Some research shows eating a vegetarian diet can help prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, reduce weight and decrease the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. But did you know that a vegetarian diet could help promote a healthy mouth?

Here are just a few ways:

1) Reduced Risk of Tooth Decay: Vegetarian diets are often lower in sugar and acid than diets that include meat. This can help reduce the risk of tooth decay and cavities.
2) Increased Nutrient Intake: Vegetarian diets are typically high in vitamins and minerals that are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C.
3) Decreased Inflammation: A vegetarian diet can help reduce inflammation in the body, which has been linked to a variety of oral health problems, including gum disease.
3) Fresher Breath: Diets that are high in fruits and vegetables can help keep your breath fresh by promoting saliva production and neutralizing odor-causing bacteria.

For , we encourage you to try on a vegetarian hat for a few days or a few meals throughout this week. Not only will you help yourself by having a more balanced nutritional diet, loaded with vegetables fruits and legumes, but you will also help those pearly whites.

If you're looking for more tips on how to maintain a healthy mouth, schedule a visit with us today.
