HAPPY NATIONAL DENTIST'S DAY!!

HAPPY NATIONAL DENTIST'S DAY!!

March 6th is National Dentist’s Day. This unusual holiday was established to demonstrate our gratitude and say thank you to dentists everywhere.  While the majority of adults would rather do just about anything else other than going to the dentist, without those appointments, we would all have terrible oral hygiene!  That’s why we’ve created a handy list of the best ways to show you care about your dentist on National Dentist’s Day.
  • Impress your dentist on your next visit, and show them that you’ve improved your dental care regimen by brushing and flossing twice a day, every day.  Make sure you’ve got the correct toothbrush and brush your teeth for a full two minutes each and every time.
  • Smile more.  Show off those pearly whites and great dental work.  And hey, it’s even good for your health!  Did you know that smiling helps to strengthen your immune system? That’s because smiling helps your body produce white blood cells that fight illnesses.
  • Encourage reluctant friends and family to go to the dentist regularly.  According to the American Dental Association, approximately 9.9% of American adults don’t plan on going to the dentist this year and anxiety about dental visits is one of their top concerns. Your encouragement could make a real difference for loved ones struggling with this fear.
  • Educate your children on the importance of excellent oral hygiene.  Make toothbrushing fun by using a colorful toothbrush and teaching them a brushing-your-teeth song.

So for this National Dentist’s Day, send your Dentist a shout out on Social Media,  or stop by their office and say THANK YOU in person!

When To Start Brushing Babies Teeth

Image
Early dental care for children is very important. Although most babies do not have visible teeth for the first six months to one year of their lives, good dental care starts from the very beginning. Baby teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent adult teeth, but neglect of your child’s first teeth may lead to serious health issues. In making sure your child has proper dental care, you will help to safeguard their smile, and also assist them in building a lifetime of good oral care habits. Before Tooth Eruption The first baby teeth start to show up at around six months old and will likely appear in the front of the mouth. But even before they arrive, you need to keep your baby’s mouth clean. Using a clean, warm, moistened cloth or a piece of sterile gauze,   gently wipe your baby’s gums with your index finger. Be thorough, but use light pressure. The goal is to remove any food particles or milk film from their gums. Teething Teething can be frustrating for a ...

Frequently Asked Questions  Hewlett Family Dental has the answers to the most commonly asked dental questions. If you have a question that is not addressed here, let us know! FAQs What causes bad breath? Bad breath is generally a result of dental decay and periodontitis, a disease affecting the gums and bone. Periodontitis occurs when the gums become inflamed and infected, ultimately spreading pockets of plaque and tartar from the gums to the bone that supports the teeth.

Teeth can crack or chip for a variety of reasons. Especially if they are subjected to chewing hard foods or biting on an unexpectedly hard object, or if teeth have been subjected to large restorations.
