Flossing is important because it removes plaque and food from places your toothbrush can’t reach. Not flossing can cause gum disease and cavities between your teeth. Daily flossing is one of the easiest ways to keep your smile healthy. If you need help with your routine, please call us at (860) 228-2565.

Are you still using that toothbrush from six months ago? We recommend changing your toothbrush every three months. Swap it out sooner if the bristles look frayed or if you’ve been sick. Worn-out bristles are less effective at cleaning and can cause gum irritation. Keep your brushing routine fresh and schedule your semiannual checkup with us at (860) 228-2565.

Here's an easy way to protect your teeth: drink more water. Doing so helps to wash away food particles, dilute acid from sugary or acidic foods, and keeps your mouth hydrated, which is essential for saliva production. Call us at (860) 228-2565 today!

Did you know some foods can naturally support dental health? Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples, carrots, and celery help remove plaque and stimulate saliva to neutralize acids. Cheese also strengthens enamel by balancing pH and providing calcium.

Although these foods can give your smile a boost, remember that brushing twice a day and flossing daily are essential! Have questions? Call us at (860) 228-2565.

You shouldn't brush your teeth directly after dinner. After eating, the acid from the food you've consumed has weakened your enamel. Brushing immediately afterwards may remove some of the enamel from the surface of your teeth. Instead, wait about an hour after dinner to brush. For more dental tips, contact us at (860) 228-2565.

As the bristles of your toothbrush wear over time, they become less effective at removing plaque and debris from your teeth and gums.🪥 Also, worn-out bristles can be harsh on your gums, causing irritation and even gum recession.

So, if it’s been more than 3–4 months (or the bristles look worn sooner), it’s time for a new toothbrush! Your teeth and gums will thank you 🦷 For more information, give us a call at (860) 228-2565!

False! Brushing alone misses up to 40% of your tooth surfaces. That’s like washing only 60% of your body! Flossing isn’t just about removing food. It’s also about preventing gum disease, cavities, and even bad breath. Floss daily for cleaner and healthier teeth!
