Dental New Year’s Resolutions!

As 2010 begins to unfold, many of us make New Years resolutions, even dental new years resolutions are appropriate to be made.

Let us resolve to floss our teeth every day.

Let us resolve to brush our teeth at least twice a day.

Let us resolve to have our teeth cleaned by our hygienist at least 3 times this year.

Let us resolve to make sure our diet does not contribute to cavities or periodontal disease.

Let us resolve to remember that periodontal disease is directly associated to heart disease, diabetes, loss birth weight babies and obstructive sleep apnea. Keeping a healthy mouth can lessen the likelihood of these diseases.

Let us resolve to have an oral cancer screening performed annually. Oral cancer is one the fasting growing types of cancer. Dentists now have diagnostic tests that allow for early detection of this potentially lethal disease.

As Albert Einstein said “we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”. Resolve to be a healthier person this year!
If we haven't seen you to get your teeth cleaned in a while, please call our office at 561-394-9000 and we will arrange an appointment that works best with your schedule to get you on your way to a maintaining a health mouth!
