Very professional, relatable and nice. Dr Mueller explained options for work needed in a way I could understand but was not pushy. This allowed me to decide on the best treatment going forward. I didn’t have to wait months to get my appointments scheduled and I left feeling confident that my concerns were addressed. If you are looking for a dentist, I would recommend calling for an appointment.
Black Friday isn’t just about shopping—it’s also National Flossing Day! With the holiday season just around the corner, now is an ideal time to enhance your oral care routine. Flossing is an easy yet powerful step to safeguard your teeth and gums, particularly during a time of indulgent, sugary delights.
Why Flossing Matters
Flossing helps remove debris and plaque from between teeth and around the gumline—areas that your toothbrush may not effectively reach. These areas are prone to collecting food particles and plaque, which, if left untreated, can lead to cavities, gum problems, and unpleasant breath.
A consistent flossing habit is essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums throughout the holidays and beyond.
Tips to Improve Your Flossing Routine
- Choose the Right Tool: Select a flossing method that works for you, such as traditional floss, floss picks, or a water flosser.
- Floss Daily: Establish a routine by setting aside time each day to floss, such as in the evening after brushing your teeth.
- Floss Gently: Guide the floss smoothly between your teeth, wrapping it slightly around each one to effectively remove plaque while being mindful of your gums.
Flossing vs. Holiday Treats
Seasonal goodies like sticky candies and sugary pies can cling to teeth, creating an ideal environment for bacteria. Regular flossing helps clear away these residues, keeping your teeth strong and your breath fresh for holiday gatherings.
