Back to School Basics #1 ✏️ : Brushing 101
You wouldn’t turn in homework you didn’t finish so don’t brush your teeth like you’re just scribbling the last answer before the bell rings.

A. Brush for 2 full minutes (set a timer or play your kid’s favorite song)
B. Twice a day—morning & night
C. Use gentle circles, not back-and-forth “eraser” scrubbing

Two minutes may feel long, but so did summer break to your kids… and look how fast that went. 😉

Start the school year with a fresh, clean slate by booking your cleaning today!

Welcome to Fresh Breath Friday, your new favorite reason to smile!

Let’s kick it off with one of the biggest causes of bad breath: your tongue.
Yep. Even if you brush and floss like a champ, skipping your tongue is like cleaning your kitchen and leaving the garbage can untouched.

Your tongue is covered in tiny grooves that trap bacteria, which is what causes odors. A quick daily tongue brush (or scraper if you're fancy) can make a huge difference.

Try it and see how fresh your mouth feels all day.

Dental Hack You Didn’t Know You Needed:
Floss before you brush.

We get it. It sounds backwards. Most of us grew up brushing first and flossing if we had time. But there’s actually a pretty smart reason to switch the order.

When you floss first, you loosen up all the food particles and plaque that are hiding between your teeth. That means when you brush next, the fluoride in your toothpaste can reach more of the surfaces and do a better job protecting your smile.

It’s kind of like sweeping before you mop. You wouldn’t skip that step, right?

Plus, let’s be honest, if flossing comes last, it’s a lot easier to skip. When you make it the first thing you do, it becomes a habit that sticks.

Try it out for a week and see how your mouth feels. Cleaner. Fresher. Like you’ve leveled up your oral hygiene game.

And if it’s time for your next cleaning, we’ve got you. Call us at (360) 861-8318 or request your appointment online.

If you’ve been a patient at Elma Family Dental, chances are you’ve met the ever-warm and wonderful Natasha! She's been part of our team since 2011, and her passion for helping patients feel comfortable in the dental chair started when she was just a kid who loved going to the dentist. (Seriously!)

From calming nerves to building lasting relationships, Natasha brings heart, humor, and a whole lot of dedication to everything she does. When she’s not at the office, you can find her kayaking, gardening, or spending time with family. And while she can’t whistle (true story), she more than makes up for it with her big smile and even bigger heart.

✨ Her dental advice? Don’t skip routine visits, prevention is everything!
☕ Her fuel of choice? Coffee, Symphony bars, and Nerds Gummy Clusters.
🦸‍♀️ Her dream superpower? Mind control. (Think of the scheduling possibilities!)
