Toothpaste, Toothpaste, Toothpaste

 

The other day one of my patient's teenagers asked for charcoal toothpaste. So, of course, this is the latest thing to hit the shelves. So, she tells me that, of course, she went looking. "I mean, who doesn't want charcoal toothpaste." She was surprised to see how many toothpastes for sale had the ADA approval seal as she was looking, which made me smile. 

This is so important, and luckily we had just chatted about why this is so important to keep your smile healthy. So with this is on my mind, I wanted to be sure to share it with my readers. Toothpaste that has ADA approval has had its data submitted and published to the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs. It ensures that the product meets specific requirements for safety and efficacy. It may also contain other ingredients that help keep your smile healthy. Without this label, there is no guarantee that the toothpaste will genuinely support and keep your smile healthy. The label can tell you everything you need to know. However, if you have any questions about toothpaste, please contact us today. 

Keep Smiling

 Did you know that prolonged stress can impact the health of your smile? 

If you are very stressed, you might spend your time grinding your teeth, leading to broken or cracked teeth. In addition, you might find yourself over time with face pain or problems with a swollen jaw because you are holding tension in your jaw. This can cause more stress as you try to navigate visits to the dentist, dental insurance and find care that supports your smile. 

However, scheduling a visit to your cosmetic dental professional can be beneficial. They can look at options for fixing broken or chipped teeth. Or maybe you want to talk about possibilities for decreasing the amount of time you grind your teeth. No matter where you are in this process, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her office to schedule an appointment today!

A Healthy Smile

We get busy, and our smiles take a backseat. However, it is so vital that we take care of our smile. Once we have a problem, it can change quickly, creating an infection that impacts our entire body. But when we schedule our regular cosmetic dental appointments, we can be sure that everything is taken care of quickly. 

Your teeth should last you a lifetime, but over the years of consuming high carbohydrate meals, not drinking enough water, and too much caffeine can negatively affect your smile, impacting your overall self-confidence. So Dr. Judy Strutz and her team make it a priority to get your smile back on track. As well, having oral health problems can put you at risk for cardiovascular disease, dementia, and respiratory infections, as well as other health concerns. 

If you have questions or concerns about your smile, you will want to schedule a cosmetic dental appointment immediately. Waiting can, unfortunately, have a devastating impact on your smile. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team can help get your smile on track.

5 Health Related Problems To The Overall Health Of Your Smile

Did you know that your smile and overall health are connected? For example, you can see a breakdown in your overall health when you have a dental infection that is not taken care of. You might want to schedule an appointment with your cosmetic dentist as soon as you notice a problem. 

A growing body of research outlines the possible connections between dental infections and the overall impact on your health. For example, suppose you have periodontal disease, and your body is constantly fighting that condition. In that case, it can create problems that impact your ability to fight off other infections. As time passes and the issue is not addressed, a minor infection can turn into sepsis or tooth loss. While periodontal disease and other infections can be troublesome, the implications for your lifelong health are a greater impact on your life. 

There is no time like the present, if you are struggling with periodontal disease or other dental concerns, contact us today and schedule an appointment.

And if you are spending time wondering how to get the smile of your dreams, now is the time to act. No more reason to compare yourself to anyone because your smile is as unique as you are, and with a little help from your cosmetic dentist you can have the smile you deserve. 

While it may take time to achieve your results depending on your smile needs, a little bit of time spent with your cosmetic dentist will have you on the right track in no time.

Take Care of Your Smile

 While we live in an interesting time right now and things might be changing rapidly for you. Don't stop learning and growing, and taking care of your smile. It is so important that your smile is healthy because if you are not taking care of your smile, your overall health can suffer. 

It is easy to let certain habits go when you are at home all day or working from home. So, how can you continue with healthy smile habits when your schedule is disrupted?

1. Brush your teeth and floss as soon as your feet hit the floor. You don't want to get other things in the way and sidetrack you. 
2. Pack healthy snacks to keep by your side. It's easy to eat whatever when your kitchen is right next to you. So, pack healthy snacks. Or ensure you have healthy fruits and vegetables set aside for you to consume during the day. They are great for your smile. 
3. Drink water! Drinking water is a fantastic way to keep your smile healthy. It rinses food from your teeth. This ensures that food does not stick to the enamel on your teeth. 
   

While these habits are not new, they are great reminders to keep your smile healthy in time, when things have changed drastically for some. For more information on keeping your smile healthy, contact Dr. Judy Strutz and her team!
