You brush, you floss, you try to do the right things, but what if something in your daily routine is quietly working against your smile? At Today’s Dental Comfort in Burton, MI, we often see patients who are surprised to learn that innocent habits they barely think about can take a toll over time. The good news is that, once you’re aware of them, they’re easy to change.
We are passionate about our patients maintaining regular hygiene exams and scheduling any recommended treatments in a timely manner. However, some of the patients we see don’t always have the best habits, which can negatively affect their oral health. Some patients experience immediate problems, while others may encounter issues down the road. We want to share some common bad habits that can harm your oral health.
When was the last time you visited our office for an oral hygiene examination and cleaning? If it has been more than six months, then we would love to see you and your loved ones for a visit. We hope you have had an amazing summer so far, enjoying time away from school and the scheduled activities that can make the fall and winter so hectic. Before all of that begins again, we recommend visiting our office if you need our services. We would hate for you, your children, or a loved one to experience any oral health complications.

We hope you’re enjoying the summer to the fullest. Many of our patients are busy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and enjoying time outdoors during this time. We are loving the warm weather and the longer days. No matter what your plans may be this summer, it is important that you continue to care for your teeth properly. Failure to do so can lead to severe complications. Read on to learn more.
At Today’s Dental Comfort, we try to do all we can to ensure that you and your family have lasting and long-term health. One way that this can occur is with routine oral hygiene examinations and cleanings. Most patients should visit our office every six months for a routine appointment. If you have a certain dental condition, such as gum disease, we may recommend visiting more often.
We don’t know how you feel, but we are thrilled that spring has finally arrived. Spring cleaning is a popular term that describes a deep cleaning, especially in your home, during this season. It is thought of as a way to create a clean slate in your home after the long winter months. We encourage patients to schedule a “spring cleaning” for their teeth and mouth. When was the last time you and your loved ones visited our office for a hygiene examination and cleaning? If it has been longer than six months, then you are due for a visit! Read on to learn more about the importance of routine dental care.
Our goal is to help our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health throughout their lifetime. Unfortunately, there are always some myths circulating that are not true and can be harmful to your oral health if you believe them. We want to share three common myths:
Do you wake up in the morning and your mouth feels like it is sticky and dry? If so, you are experiencing dry mouth. This is a common condition that results in a lack of saliva in the mouth. It can become a problem because saliva is needed to help rinse away lingering food and bacteria. When bacteria linger on and between the teeth as well as along the gumline, it will lead to problems, such as gum disease and tooth decay.
We cannot believe that Halloween is right around the corner! It feels like we were just watching fireworks during the summer! We know that all around us are spooky decorations and scary movies! We wouldn’t want your oral health to give you a fright too. This time of year is well known for an abundance of sweets and sugary drinks. Unfortunately, they can quickly wreak havoc on your teeth and lead to a number of problems.
At Today’s Dental Comfort, one of our top priorities is ensuring you have optimal oral health. When you visit our office, we do all we can to be sure that this occurs. Unfortunately, some patients make poor lifestyle choices, which can negatively impact their oral health. While these choices might not be affecting their oral health now, they will most certainly lead to problems in the future. Here are some choices you may want to stop making:
