October is National Dental Hygiene Month!  Are you doing everything you can to keep your smile healthy?  

Dental Hygiene Reminders:

• Brush Your Teeth - Brushing for two minutes is the most important thing that you can do to prevent plaque, cavities and gingivitis.  This helps keep teeth and gums clean.  Even baby teeth need to be diligently brushed!
• Don't Forget to Floss - Daily flossing helps remove plaque and food particles that your toothbrush can't reach.  
• Rinse with Mouthwash - Anti-microbial mouth rinse can help prevent gum disease.  This is another way to help make sure that you reach all of the spots in your mouth that you miss while brushing and flossing.
• Chew Sugar-Free Gum - Chewing sugar-free gum helps stimulate saliva.  This is a great way to protect your teeth after eating and drinking.  Just make sure that the gum is sugar-free!
