Toothaches are inconvenient and painful. If there were ways you could avoid toothaches, would you do them? If so, our [practice_name] dental team has some helpful tips for you! In order to avoid toothaches in [city], [state], we encourage you to do the following things:

–Keep up on oral hygiene: Brush your teeth for two minutes every morning and every night. As you brush, make sure you use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. The soft bristles will deeply clean your smile from toothache-causing particles and the fluoride will help strengthen your tooth enamel. After you’re done brushing at night, follow the routine with flossing and rinsing. When you floss, be careful along the gumline. When you rinse, use a beneficial product, like fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash.

–Visit your dentist: There are many things that can cause a toothache, including tooth decay and enamel erosion. To prevent these things, you need to visit Dr. [doctor_name] every six months. The treatment involved will deeply clean your smile and it will also strengthen your tooth enamel with fluoride. This will help keep the toothaches away.

–Eat a healthy and balanced diet: Eating tooth-healthy foods will help you prevent pain and aches in your teeth, especially if you avoid eating sugary products as much as possible. Another cause of a toothache is food being stuck in your teeth. If this happens, don’t be afraid to remove the particle with dental floss.

Your dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], and our dental team care about you and your smile, which is why we’re here to help you in any way we can.

Most people work hard to take good care of their bodies to ensure good health. But a healthy smile is just as important to your well-being, and since this month is Thanksgiving and it is tradition to express gratitude for the things we love, remember your pearly whites. In fact, if you are looking for a reason to love your smile, we have three of them to share with you today.

#1 Self-Image: The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry conducted a Whitening Survey in 2012 and found that 99.7% of Americans believe a smile is an important social asset. In fact, 74% of the respondents felt that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances of having career success, and 96% of adults felt that an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to members of the opposite sex.

#2 Nutrition and Energy: Along with a positive self-image, your teeth provide a necessary function to your overall health. They grind the food you eat to provide nourishment to your body. In fact, proper saliva production along with your pearly whites break down these nutrients, helping to prevent diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, lower bloating and gas to improve your digestion. This process also helps with weight loss and give you energy by helping your body better absorb nutrients.

#3 Effective Communication: Your healthy smile also helps you speak and communicate with the people around you. This allows you to interact with friends, family, co-workers and all the people you interact with during a typical day. Daily interactions truly provide a vital service and you can thank your pearly whites for that!

At [practice_name] in [city], [state], we encourage you to brush and floss daily, maintain regular dental cleanings and checkups, and don’t forget to show off your healthy, confident smile! To schedule your next visit with Dr. [doctor_name], please call [phone] today.
