💧 Is Mouthwash a Must? Not exactly—but it can be a great sidekick to your daily dental routine! 🦷✨
While mouthwash isn’t a replacement for brushing and flossing, it offers some helpful benefits:
✔️ Freshens breath
✔️ Helps prevent plaque buildup
✔️ May contain fluoride to fight cavities
✔️ Aids in rinsing away loose debris
✔️ Helps protect against gingivitis

👉 Pro tip: Always check the label for fluoride and alcohol content—some formulas are better suited for sensitive mouths!

Got questions about which mouthwash is right for you? Ask Dr. Pratt at your next visit!

Some meals just demand a floss session! 🦷✨
You know the ones… the foods that get stuck everywhere and quietly invite bacteria to hang out between your teeth.

👉 Here are meals you should always floss after:
🍿 Popcorn – those pesky hulls can lodge deep between teeth and gums.
🥩 Steak & BBQ meats – tiny fibers easily get trapped.
🌮 Tacos, sandwiches & wraps – sticky bread and fillings pack into tight spaces.
🥦 Leafy greens – spinach and kale love to hide!
🍫 Sticky or chewy treats – think caramel or dried fruit.

💡 Why it matters: Flossing after these meals helps remove food debris and bacteria that brushing can’t reach, preventing cavities and gum inflammation.

✨ Floss at least once a day, but if you’ve had a “sticky” or “stringy” meal, floss right after to keep your smile fresh and healthy.

🦷 Dental Cyst vs. Dental Abscess — Do you know the difference?
Not all oral swellings are the same! A dental cyst is usually painless and fluid-filled, while a dental abscess is an urgent, painful infection that needs immediate care. Understanding the signs can help you avoid complications and get the right treatment sooner.

✔️ Cyst = chronic, painless, needs removal
❌ Abscess = infected, painful, needs antibiotics + drainage

📞 Don't wait on oral concerns—early diagnosis can save your smile!
