💧 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.

👀 Did you know your mouth and your eyes are more connected than you think? 🦷✨
Poor oral hygiene and gum disease don’t just affect your smile — they can impact your vision too! Studies link gum disease to:

🔸 Uveitis
🔸 Glaucoma
🔸 Diabetic eye issues
🔸 Chronic dry eyes
🔸 Delayed healing after eye surgery

Taking care of your gums means protecting your sight, your smile, and your overall health. 💪🪥
✨ Brush. Floss. Protect your vision.

🔹 Craze Lines – Surface cracks, no pain
🦷 Cracked Tooth – May hurt when chewing
🔻 Vertical Root Fracture – Silent until it’s advanced
💥 Split Tooth – Often not restorable

If you're feeling pain or sensitivity, don’t wait! Catching cracks early can save your tooth and your smile. 😁

🦷 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

Serving our local community!

While there are many ways to meet your dental needs, my goal is to accomplish those needs with the most modern and up to date methods and materials.

There are four main guidelines I follow while considering your oral health.

1. Dental work should look like it grew there.

2. Dental treatment should last a long time.
