Our team can conduct a detailed exam and cleaning, so you start the season with better oral health. We can also create a treatment plan to address any concerns we discover. You can also take steps to help protect your smile during the holiday season!
Tips for a Smile-Healthy Holidays
How do you protect your smile during the festive season? We suggest trying to limit your consumption of holiday favorites that are high in sugar and starch, as this could leave behind particles that feed harmful oral bacteria and increase the risk of tooth decay and infection, as well as gingivitis and gum disease. Try to add fresh fruit and vegetables to your plate too, as options like broccoli, apples, and carrots could help scrub away plaque and trapped food particles. A glass of water with your meal is helpful too, as this could help rinse away trapped particles. Be sure you brush and floss daily as expected, even when you are out of town for the festivities!
Exams and Preventive Treatments
With a dental exam, we will look closely at your teeth, gums, roots, and oral structures with digital imaging technology, allowing us to identify issues in the earliest stages, often before you ever experience symptoms. We then create a plan to address them before the holidays start in some cases. We also clean your teeth, a process that removes plaque and tartar to protect your teeth and gums. For kids, we could discuss options like fluoride and dental sealants to help lower their risk of tooth decay and infection.
If you have any questions about how we protect smiles with routine care, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with our team, then reach out to our office today to get started using these benefits and start 2026 with your best smile. The process starts with a simple visit for a dental checkup today!
