Have you been slacking in your oral hygiene? If so, it pays to remember that toothpaste, floss, and biannual checkups are cheaper than restorative dentistry is.

Much of oral hygiene is common sense to most adults, thanks to years of practice, but even the best of us could use a healthy reminder every now and then.

Flossing is more than just pulling a string between your teeth. To floss properly, the floss should glide against both sides of each tooth, arcing around the tooth so as to fit above the gum line. Each tooth should be flossed, not just those with tangible particulates.

Here is some food for thought. ??

Happy Fall! Now that the weather is finally starting to cool down, we think it’s time for our next giveaway! This giveaway will begin Wednesday at BOTH Evans and Augusta offices!

Oral Hygiene FAQ: Is it better to brush with soft or hard bristles? Contrary to popular belief, soft bristles clean equally as well as hard bristles, but are gentler on teeth and gums. In fact, hard-bristled brushes can do more harm to teeth than good.

Most of us know we should brush our teeth once in the morning, but there's no standard regarding when that should be. While many prefer to brush after breakfast to get rid of food remnants, the science may recommend otherwise.

How can you get a great set of teeth put in for free? Irritate a lion. ?

Losing a crown or filling can be alarming - and painful - but it's no cause for panic. It is relatively common, and there are remedies to tide you over until you can see the dentist.

Teeth Whitening Myths: Repeated whitening damages enamel. The myth that teeth whitening can harm the enamel of your teeth is false. While at-home teeth whitening can be dangerous, professional whitening formulas applied by us do not damage the enamel in any way. The pores in the enamel are gently opened up so that dental bleaching agents can reach the stains beneath the surface of your teeth. About two days after the whitening procedure is complete, the pores close back up, leaving the enamel in its original state.
