Some of these are groan-worthy, but many of them are sure to give you
a huge laugh. Enjoy these jokes and tell them at the office and
everywhere you go, to share your smile.
While the above jokes are hilarious, Dental Care is no laughing matter.
Taking care of your teeth is essential for ensuring your smile is healthy
and beautiful. When was the last time you visited the dentist?
Regular appointments with the dentist allow minor cavities and signs of
gingivitis to be discovered while they are still easily treatable. Often, X-
rays and examinations will reveal cavities that may not yet be felt by the
patient. When found early, these cavities typically do not cause any
major tooth destruction.
Although everyone knows they need to brush and floss regularly, not
everyone takes care of these oral hygiene chores as often as they should.
You must learn how to brush and floss, and do it often for good oral
health.
A soft toothbrush is the best tool for brushing your teeth effectively.
Keep the toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and use a gentle
back and forth motion, making sure to brush at the gumline.
By the way, do not forget to throw that old toothbrush away after three
months. After three months of use, it has become too worn to do an
effective job at cleaning your teeth.
Do you know flossing is one of the most neglected oral hygiene tasks?
People of all ages neglect their teeth by avoiding flossing. Often, people
simply think flossing is too difficult.
The good news is, there are now easy ways to floss your teeth. You do
not even have to wrap the string around your finger. With floss picks,
you can easily floss between your teeth. Flossing helps to prevent
interproximal cavities, which are those that occur between the teeth.
If you do not brush and floss a couple of times a day, cavities and gum
disease are more likely to occur. Only 30% of the population flosses daily.
If you have not been flossing, now is the time to get started.
Your dentist is an essential partner for keeping your smile healthy. The
right dentist should offer expert dental care but should also have a
personality that makes you feel at ease.

health and appearance of their smiles. The following offers information
on what you should look for in a dentist. With the following information,

Sally likes a particular dentist does not mean you will. Research carefully
to find the best dentist.
Discover the credentials of the dentist. Make sure the dentist is
board-certified, and learn as much as possible about their education and
expertise.
How long has the dentist been practicing? Experience is essential
when it comes to choosing a dentist. The more experience a dentist has,
the better equipped they will be to take care of all the dental care needs
of their patients.
Evaluate the treatment options. How advanced is the dentist’s
arsenal of equipment? Have they employed the latest technology?
Technological advances are occurring rapidly in the dental field, and
dentists must keep up with the changes, to serve their patients
effectively.
If you have been putting off seeing the dentist, now is the time
