Your body goes through many changes when you are expecting and some of these changes affect your dental health. Did you know pregnant women are at a higher risk for gingivitis and tooth decay? Many insurance companies allow for additional cleanings during pregnancy. If you are interested give us a call and we'll see if your current dental coverage will allow an extra cleaning.

Have you postponed your routine dental check-up due to Covid? With all the additional enhancements, dental offices have proven to be very low risk for infection. Research shows a strong connection between oral health and overall health so it’s important not to skip your dental cleanings.

Can my mask give me bad breath? There is no evidence that wearing a mask causes or exacerbates dental issues. But wearing a mask is making people more aware of their breath. The three main causes of bad breath are food trapped in teeth, bacteria and dryness. Remember you can combat bad breath by brushing to remove sticky plaque, floss to remove food trapped, keep hydrated by drinking water and see your dentist regularly.

Thumb Sucking and Pacifier use can be difficult habits to break. How can you help your child stop thumb sucking? Positive reinforcement- Praise your child for not sucking.
