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!

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:
At Today’s Dental Comfort, our goal is to help our patients become educated about the best ways to improve their oral health. One way to help your oral health is to make sure you have a thorough oral hygiene routine. If you often feel your teeth seem fuzzy or slimy, there is a good chance you are not cleaning them properly. The fuzzy or slimy feeling you are experiencing is most likely plaque. Plaque is a sticky film that coats the teeth and is caused by bacteria from food and drink.
At Today’s Dental Comfort, we carefully monitor our patient’s oral health from appointment to appointment and only recommend a dental treatment when we believe it is necessary. When we recommend a dental treatment, it is imperative that you schedule it as soon as possible. If you visit our office regularly, we are able to spot problem areas in the early stages, and when you get treatment quickly, we can fix the issue. When you do not get treatment in a timely manner, you are setting yourself up to experience problems.
When was the last time you visited our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning? If it has been longer than six months since we’ve seen you and your family, now is the perfect time to schedule your next visit. Since we are still in the heart of spring, and many people are cleaning out their homes and preparing their yards for the summertime, we think it’s the perfect time to deep clean your mouth.

When patients visit our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning, one of their biggest concerns is if there is any sign of decay.

At Today’s Dental Comfort, we want the best oral health for all of our patients, young and old. This is one of the reasons we stress routine oral hygiene appointments. However, most of the responsibility for your oral care falls on your shoulders. We know that our adult patients are able to care for their teeth on their own, but children need assistance in caring for their teeth at home. There are some habits that can negatively affect your children’s teeth and can impact the future of their oral health.
