🦷 Smile Goals Start with a Clean Slate 😁⁣⁣⠀
What REALLY Happens During a Dental Cleaning? Let’s take the mystery out of it! 👇⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Thinking about booking a cleaning, but not sure what to expect? Here’s what we do at Avalon Dental Center to keep your smile healthy and bright:⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✨ Step 1: Gentle Exam⁣⁣⠀
Your hygienist checks for signs of plaque, tartar, gum disease, or cavities.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🪥 Step 2: Plaque & Tartar Removal⁣⁣⠀
We use special tools to carefully remove buildup that brushing alone can’t handle.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌀 Step 3: Gritty Toothpaste Polishing⁣⁣⠀
It feels like a mini spa for your teeth! This step helps polish away surface stains.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🧵 Step 4: Floss Like a Pro⁣⁣⠀
We floss between every tooth—even the tricky spots—to remove any leftover debris.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
💧 Step 5: Final Rinse + Fluoride Treatment (if needed)⁣⁣⠀
We rinse thoroughly and may apply fluoride to strengthen enamel.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
👏 That’s it! A fresh start in less than an hour.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
✅ No pain, no judgment—just personalized, comfortable care.⁣⁣⠀

🥂 Cheers to Your Smile!

The Truth About Alcohol & Your Oral Health 😬🍷

Holiday parties = fun memories… but your favorite cocktails may not be so kind to your teeth. Here’s what you should know:

🚫 Alcohol dries out your mouth, reducing saliva that protects against decay
🍷 Red wine & dark liquors can stain enamel
🦠 Alcohol can disrupt your oral bacteria, increasing risk of gum disease
💡 Acidic mixers can wear away enamel faster than you think

Tips to protect your smile:
✔️ Alternate alcoholic drinks with water
✔️ Rinse with water after sipping wine
✔️ Don’t brush immediately after – wait 30 mins to avoid enamel damage

✨ Keep your smile healthy while still enjoying the celebration!
