Spring is in the air! Winter hats are being stored away, that grill is looking great for barbeques, and you may be clearing out your home or office. If you are like us, you want to kick off Spring 2024 living your best life and treating yourself great! Here are some easy things you can do to boost your smile this Spring!
Switch out your toothbrush head for your electric toothbrush! If the bristles are faded in color from the original blue color, or if you see the bristles splaying out to the sides, it is time to treat yourself to that new toothbrush head you have in your bottom left cabinet! (You MAY need to look around for a minute, but we're sure you will find it!)
Use soft bristled toothbrushes! Soft bristled toothbrushes, whether electric or manual, are ALL your teeth and gums need for a nice clean mouth. Hard bristles irritate the gumline, potentially leading to inflammation or even recession of the gum line!
Consider fluoride toothpastes such as ClinPro or Sensodyne to maximize the minerals and strength of your enamel.
Schedule a visit here at Harte Dental! If you have any discomfort, sensitivity to cold or heat, it is important to treat the issue before it gets worse, and more expensive! Dr. Harte, along with our award-winning clinical team of hygienists and assistants, can diagnose and treat what is causing you discomfort! No pain this Spring and Summer! If you are due for your 6 month cleaning, send us a call at (617) 696-5257, and at the end of your visit, make sure to ask about our powerful fluoride varnish, which seeps deep into your teeth for hours (hence the no hot food/drink for 4 hour rule!) to remineralize your enamel... these effects last for months!
Check Expiration Dates: Take a look at your mouthwash and toothpaste, and toss anything that has passed the expiration dates. This is also a good opportunity to switch up your products and try something new!
Actually Floss: When you thoroughly flossed last, can you remember that feeling of clean? Actually taking the time (2 to 3 minutes) to floss is a great way to treat your body this Spring!
We wish you a Happy Spring and hope to see you soon!
