🫁 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Did you know that the bacteria associated with gum disease have been linked not only to lung cancer, but also to breast and pancreatic cancer?
Your mouth truly is the gateway to your overall health — and inflammation or infection in the gums can affect more than just your smile.

Maintaining excellent periodontal health helps protect your immune system and supports your body’s ability to fight disease. That’s why regular professional dental hygiene visits are so important.

If you have a personal or family history of cancer — especially lung cancer — you should be on a three-month professional periodontal maintenance schedule.
These visits help control oral bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support your systemic health.

Take charge of your wellness from the inside out — start with your smile. Schedule your periodontal maintenance visit today.

One of the most common questions Chelsey hears is: “Does it hurt to get a dental implant?”

In this video, she explains what patients can expect during the process and why most people are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable treatment actually is. With today’s advanced techniques, numbing, and gentle care, getting a dental implant is often easier than having a tooth removed.

Chelsey also shares how our team at Declaration Dental stays with you every step of the way — from preparation to healing — to make sure you’re comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.

✨ If you’ve been putting off replacing a missing tooth because you’re worried it will hurt, watch this video. You may be surprised at just how smooth the process can be!

👅 Dental Tip Tuesday: Don’t Forget Your Tongue!

Did you know that up to 90% of bad breath is caused by bacteria on your tongue? Even if you brush and floss daily, skipping your tongue leaves behind odor-causing bacteria and plaque that can affect both your breath and oral health.

✅ Use a toothbrush or tongue scraper to gently clean your tongue every time you brush.
✅ This simple habit removes bacteria, freshens breath, and even enhances your sense of taste.
✅ It’s a quick step that makes a big difference!

At Declaration Dental, our hygienists love sharing personalized tips like this to help keep your whole mouth healthy and fresh.

📅 Call us today at (574) 583-5042 to schedule your next dental hygiene visit and learn more ways to protect your smile.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Declaration Dental! 👻

This Halloween, pumpkins may look cute with missing teeth… but your smile deserves something better! At Declaration Dental, we offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry services — from whitening to veneers to smile makeovers — so your grin shines bright all year long.

🕷️ A few Halloween safety tips for our Monticello neighbors:

Parents, always check your child’s candy before they eat it

Carry a flashlight or glow sticks to stay safe while trick-or-treating

After enjoying sweets, if you can’t brush right away:
💧 Rinse with water to wash away sugar and acids
🍬 Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva and protect your enamel

✨ Wishing you a fun and safe Halloween — and if your smile needs a little extra magic, we’re here for you.

📅 Call us at (574) 583-5042 to schedule your consultation.

🎃 Don’t Let Halloween Treats Play Tricks on Your Teeth! 👻

Not all candy is created equal when it comes to your smile.
🍬 Worst offenders: sticky candies (like taffy, caramel, gummies) and hard candies that linger in your mouth. They coat your teeth in sugar and give cavity-causing bacteria the upper hand.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents: inspect your kids’ candy before they eat it, and remind them to brush and floss afterward. If brushing isn’t possible right away, rinsing with water helps until they can brush.

🌙 At bedtime, always use a fluoride mouthwash—and ask us about a professional fluoride treatment at your next hygiene visit for extra protection.

✨ Halloween Safety Tip: Make sure little ghosts and goblins can be seen! Use flashlights, reflective gear, or glow sticks while trick-or-treating to stay safe.

⏰ And don’t forget—your dental insurance benefits expire December 31st. Schedule your dental hygiene visit now and use your benefits before you lose them!

One of questions patients often ask Dr. Nguyen is: “How much will this cost?”

In this video, he shares how our team at Declaration Dental takes the worry out of finances by:

✔️ Providing a clear, upfront estimate before treatment begins
✔️ Offering convenient monthly payment options for any portion not covered by insurance — so your care comfortably fits your life and budget

💡 Our message is simple: we will never let money come between you and the care you need. Your health — and your smile — are too important for that.

📅 If you’ve been putting off dental care because of financial concerns, call us today at (574) 583-5042. Let’s talk through your options and create a plan that works for you.

🦷 Dental Tip Tuesday: Night Guards & More

Do you grind your teeth at night? You might not even realize it — but signs like jaw soreness, morning headaches, worn enamel, or cracked teeth can all point to nighttime grinding (also called bruxism).

At Declaration Dental, we can create a custom professional night guard to protect your teeth and relieve the stress on your jaw. Unlike over-the-counter guards, ours are designed to fit comfortably and last.

But here’s something many people don’t know: teeth grinding can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
When the airway becomes blocked during sleep, the body reacts by clenching and grinding in an effort to reopen it. Left untreated, OSA can affect your sleep quality and overall health — even increasing risks for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

✨ The good news? We can help evaluate whether your grinding is simply bruxism or if it may be connected to sleep apnea. Either way, protecting your teeth and health starts with a conversation.

📅 Call us today at (574) 583-5042 to schedule a consultation and find the right solution for you.

Waking up with headaches?

For many Monticello residents, morning headaches aren’t just about stress or poor sleep — they can be linked to teeth grinding, jaw issues, or even obstructive sleep apnea.

At Declaration Dental, we help patients uncover the real reason behind their discomfort. Whether it’s bruxism (grinding), TMJ problems, or sleep apnea, our team offers solutions that can improve your comfort and protect your health.

✨ The good news? Relief is possible. And in many cases, it starts with a simple consultation.

📅 Call us today at (574) 583-5042 to schedule your complimentary consultation. Let’s get to the bottom of those headaches and rule out sleep apnea so you can wake up refreshed, not in pain.

Fun Fact Friday 🦷
Did you know the average person only brushes for about 45–70 seconds a day? That’s less than half the recommended time!

At Declaration Dental, we recommend brushing at least twice a day — and three times if possible. If you’re ever in a situation where brushing isn’t an option after a meal, here’s what you can do:
💧 Rinse with water to help neutralize acids in the mouth
🍬 Chew a piece of sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva, which washes away food particles and acids naturally

And here’s something most people don’t realize: toothbrushes aren’t one-size-fits-all. They come in all shapes and sizes — just like mouths do. At your next dental hygiene appointment, one of our amazing hygienists will give you personalized oral health tips and help you choose the toothbrush that’s right for you.

📅 Call us today at (574) 583-5042 to schedule your hygiene visit and get customized recommendations to keep your smile healthy and strong.
