Remember that these rumors are untrue, so getting down to the fact of the matter will help you maintain your smile without missing a beat.

Procrastination Station: 3 Things That Can Happen
Are you a natural procrastinator? Perhaps you are on top of all of the details in your life except for your dental care. Whatever the case, it’s often a natural inclination to put oral health issues off to the last minute. We understand that there are other things that often take priority over your need for a cleaning, checkup, restorative treatment, or otherwise. However, this approach isn’t going to benefit your smile. Let’s review a few not-so-great things that can happen when you wait too long to address your smile.

There are some misconceptions regarding pressure and dental hygiene – let’s help you sort it out, so you make the most of your time.

Do you think that protecting your smile is just one of those things that you’re either good at – or that the opposite is true? Perhaps you never considered the fact that maintaining a healthy smile is something that requires some serious preparation when it comes to preventive care.

Let’s see where you are in your smile care journey with a quiz.
Flossing Quiz: True Or False?
Do you ever feel like you place a lot of emphasis on brushing your teeth – perhaps so much so that you end up forgetting about flossing? Or, maybe you just don’t place as much enthusiasm into the flossing portion of your dental hygiene session as you should.
