Winter has officially joined the party, bringing a fresh chill to the air and a sprinkle of holiday magic! ❄️

Happy first day of winter!

Your mouth is home to an estimated 300 different species of bacteria. 🤯 Most bacteria in our bodies are harmless, and some are even beneficial. However, others can cause tooth decay in our mouths by feeding on the sugars in the foods and drinks we consume, then leaving behind waste in the form of a biofilm known as dental plaque. These microscopic organisms are tiny, yet they can cause some big oral health issues- such as tooth decay, cavities, and periodontal disease- if you are not taking care of your teeth! Remember to eat sugary and starchy foods in moderation and keep up with your routine visits to ensure a healthy mouth. 💛

Considering teeth whitening? 🤔

Before choosing an over-the-counter kit, here are some facts Dr Horn/Oakside Dental wants you to keep in mind!

◻ Over-the-counter kits may cause extra sensitivity in your teeth.
◻ In-office whitening offers deeper pe*******on, resulting in longer-lasting whiteness.
◻ While in-office whitening might be more expensive, it requires less frequent touch-ups.
◻ Experience better and faster results with in-office treatment, achieving up to 8 shades whiter teeth in just 1-2 hours compared to 3-6 shades at home over several days or weeks.

For questions or to schedule your teeth whitening, call us at 906-863-6381. 📞

The best way to prevent periodontal disease is to take good care of your teeth and gums at home. This includes brushing your teeth after every meal and before bedtime, flossing at least once each day, and seeing your dentist or periodontist for regular exams twice a year. Spending a few minutes a day on preventative measures may save you the time and money of treating periodontal disease!

Toothbrush care is an important part of self-care! You should be replacing your toothbrush every 3-6 months 💁‍♀️If the bristles are bowed, you may be brushing too hard - let up a bit! Then start fresh with a new brush ✨
