Happy National Junk Food Day! 🍭🍟

Indulge in your favorite treats, but don't forget about your smile! 😊 Enjoying sugary, acidic, or sticky snacks in moderation is okay, but maintaining your oral health is key.

Here are a few tips:
1️⃣ Brush and floss after indulging to remove any lingering sugars.
2️⃣ Drink water to help wash away food particles and acids.
3️⃣ Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva and neutralize acids.
4️⃣ Schedule regular dental check-ups to keep your teeth healthy.

Celebrate responsibly and keep that smile shining bright! ✨🦷

Our very own Dr. Tyrone Rodriguez, San Antonio District Dental Society Journal Editor, recently spoke to CBS about the latest TikTok trend promoting gum that claims to enhance jaw muscle strength and improve appearance.

Dr. Rodriguez emphasized the need for more scientific studies on these claims. He pointed out that while these marketing tactics are gaining popularity, chewing regular sugar-free gum for about 20 minutes can effectively relieve stress and provide oral health benefits.

Exciting news for dental health! 🦷 Recent research reveals that silver diamine fluoride (SDF) packs a punch against tooth decay, matching the effectiveness of traditional dental sealants. What's more, SDF boasts affordability and simplicity in application, making it a standout choice for oral care. Unlike sealants that last only a couple of years, SDF requires biannual administration to maintain its preventive prowess. Say hello to a cost-effective and efficient solution for healthier smiles!
