We all know the importance of having clean teeth, but with our busy lives it’s sometimes hard to keep on top of our dental health. The team at Premier Family Dental is here to help, so we’ve prepared some helpful tips for you!

If you’re on the go a lot, consider investing in a toothbrush for your office, so you’ll always have one. Another good idea is the Colgate Wisp, a one-use disposable toothbrush that doesn’t need water. You can keep a pack handy and always be able to freshen your breath easily.

Unfortunately, though, you can’t always brush after meals, so consider making sugarless gum a regular part of your life. You can keep a pack in your purse or desk, so it’s always there. How does this help? By increasing the flow of in your mouth. This can help neutralize the acids and bacteria that are found on your teeth, especially after eating.

You can also consider keeping some floss in your desk drawer or purse as well. You never know when you’ll get a little particle of food stuck between your teeth! Not only is it annoying, but it also gives bacteria and plaque a chance to grow and form, so it’s best to remove particles like these as soon as possible.

Every patient, regardless of age, should see their local dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. And for children, one of the best times to come in to Premier Family Dental for one of these visits is at the beginning of a new school year.

Why is the start of a new school year such a good time?

Because August is a clear dividing line between one part of the year and another. Even if August is actually the eighth month instead of the sixth, it feels like a halfway point, separating the spring and summer from fall and winter.

But there’s an even more significant reason than this to bring your child in now. Aside from dividing the year in half, it’s a good idea to schedule your child’s next visit with Dr. Cofer at a time when your son or daughter’s schedule is still relatively light. As the year progresses, your child will have more homework and projects to do, on top of extracurricular activities, making free time hard to come by. So it’s best to schedule your child’s next visit with our Premier Family Dental team now, especially since return visits may be needed to treat common oral health conditions like cavities or gum disease.
