Do you spend time thinking about how nice it is to have a clean slate for 2016?

If so, your feelings are certainly in line with our philosophy regarding consistent care. By getting the ball rolling early and preparing for preventive dentistry, you can promote a healthy smile for 2016 without worry.
Christmas Morning Breakfast
Looking for something unique to serve on Christmas morning that will make your breakfast completely unique and memorable? If so, consider skipping the usual spiced breads or muffins and choose something a little different and very tasty. For those who enjoy spending a bit of prep time in the kitchen with family, you might love the almond pancakes with sour cherry syrup recipe posted by Zoe Singer at Epicurious.com. Granted, this is certainly a sugary sweet treat for morning time, but we are celebrating the holidays, after all! Keep that toothbrush and dental floss handy (so you can keep your prevention on track) and all will be well.
Enjoy It’s A Wonderful Life
Can you finish the line, “Every time a bell rings” as you visualize Jimmy Stewart in one of your favorite films? Have you been telling your little ones about classic Christmas movies, wishing you had the chance to see them in the theater? Fortunately, now is truly your chance with this exciting upcoming event in your area.
Common Warning Signs: Sleep Apnea
When it comes to the need for sleep apnea treatment, snoring suggests that sleep apnea might be affecting your life. However, there are certainly some more definitive significant warning signs that point to a sleep apnea problem, which means your throat tissues are collapsing for brief moments throughout the night (temporarily rendering you incapable of breathing). Good news: We can address this problem, so heed the signs and call us for a visit right away.
Do You Need Bruxism Treatment In 2016?
Do you think you may need bruxism treatment in 2016? Do you have any information regarding how we characterize this dental disorder? Allow us to explain: If you need treatment, you are suffering from the involuntary grinding and/or clenching of your teeth. This is something that you may not even recognize you perform until someone says something like, “Hey, why are you making that noise with your teeth?” Rest assured, we offer effective care that is both comfortable and noninvasive, so you can regain your oral health in the New Year.
Holiday Stress: Take A Break
When you think about the holidays, hopefully your thoughts tend to bring up images of beautiful twinkling lights, cozy décor, gifts, and all things merry and bright! However, if visions of sore jaws and sensitive teeth flicker through your mind, as well, recognize that this time of year can negatively affect bruxism and TMJ disorder. As a result, we have some serious suggestions for you to help you make it well into the New Year in comfort. The primary recommendation, of course? Take a break!

Does this time of year seem to stir up your creative side? Do you love listening to as much holiday-themed music as you can, while you spend time admiring the colors, textures, and beautiful designs associated with the holidays? If this is beginning to sound a lot like you during wintertime festivities, you might want to gather up some close friends or loved ones and head out to this enjoyable event.
Smile-Friendly Holiday Gifts
When you delve into gift-giving during the holidays, you can find attempting to limit presents that can damage smiles becomes a slippery slope. What starts out as a simple box of chocolate can suddenly turn into a stocking full of sugary goodness and more. We cannot deny the joy that candy brings (though we certainly suggest you rinse and brush after you indulge!). What we can contribute, however, are some thoughtful gift ideas that keep preventive care in check during the holidays and throughout the year.
To Brush Or Not To Brush?
We often find that patients have specific questions about their preventive care at home but that they feel too embarrassed to ask them. Even if your question is extremely simple or you feel hesitant to ask, we urge you to feel comfortable bringing up your inquiries during visits. It’s often the answer to the simplest question that provides you with the missing factor in practicing exceptional dental hygiene. At the moment, consider some frequently asked questions (and answers) for helpful hints.
Tips For Top-Notch Floss Purchasing
Chances are good that you will be indulging in some foods during the holiday season that you would otherwise not consume on a daily basis. The result? You may find yourself brushing more than usual – and you might need to pull out some dental floss to remove debris from between your teeth. If figuring out which floss is best for your needs is something that has been eluding you, there is no time like the present moment to get to know your options for this significant aspect of your dental hygiene. Consider some informative and helpful tips for an easier time in the hygiene aisle.
