Don’t Wait!

 

 

With so many other things to worry about, your smile should not have to be one of them. If you are avoiding the dental office because you are unsure of the protocols in place to protect you, please be assured we are doing what we can to mitigate the risk to our patients. You don’t want to continue to avoid the dental office.

 

Your smile and the health of your teeth is vital to the health of your overall body. When you have dental pain, decay, or other dental problems, it can diminish your overall health in everything that you do.  For example, you may not sleep well because you have dental pain or because you have a toothache. With less sleep, it is easy to become irritable, frustrated easily, and begin to not enjoy things around you.

 

You might also begin to withdraw from friends or family. Individuals share with us often that when they do not love their smile, they feel embarrassed. They try and hide their smile, and their self-esteem decreases. However, spending time with a dentist, who can help you navigate what you need for your smile, can ensure your success. From start to finish of the dental process, we will walk you through the treatment plan.

 

Things around us may be uncertain, but having a healthy smile does not have to be one of those things. For more information or to schedule a dental appointment, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.

It’s Getting Hot Out There, So Don’t Forget The Water!

As the temperatures continue to rise, it is critical that you are drinking enough water in order for your body and your mouth to stay hydrated. Once you begin to feel a dry mouth it is too late. You are already dehydrated and in need of even more fluids. So, how can you ensure that your mouth and your body is getting enough water this summer? Follow these simple 3 steps and you’ll be well on your way to ensuring that your smile is not impacted by dry mouth and dehydration.

1.     Always carry a water bottle with you. Having a water bottle in your purse ensures that you are remembering to fill it up when you are out and about and doesn’t require you to purchase water.

2.     Eat fruit for meals and in between meals. The water concentration in fresh fruits helps to provide the water content in between drinking water.

3.     Utilize fresh fruits and vegetables in your water to add flavor. Drinking plain water can be boring and can be a problem when it comes to motivating yourself to drink more water. By putting some fruits and vegetables in there, it can keep you excited about drinking water for days.

Kick Sleep Apnea To The Curb

For many the idea of having to live and travel with a c-pap machine over the holidays is a nightmare. That’s why it’s such good news that for many they can kick the machine to the curb and enjoy a restful night’s sleep without a machine. C-pap machines are loud and they can dry out your mouth, leaving you exposed to decay and other dental problems due to dry mouth. With a little help from your dental team, many times they can solve your sleep apnea problem by providing you with an alternative option.

Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because even though you may wake up hundreds of times a night gasping for air, you may not register you are even waking up. You may feel tired, depressed and on edge though the next morning. These are signs you are not getting the amount of sleep you need at night, and if you haven’t explored other options, now may be the time to visit Dr. Judy Strutz and her team.

A dental device fits comfortably in your mouth similar to a mouth guard. It is custom made so that it does not choke you, fall out, or is too small. Once you place the device in your mouth, it keeps your throat open instead of collapsing as you sleep comfortably over the holiday season.

Don’t wait until you lose a job, friends, or your health is deteriorating before you get help.
