If you want a strong and healthy smile during summer break, then you have come to the right blog. Our dentists, Dr. Kenneth Lewis and Dr. Chip Lewis, would love to help you enjoy your school-less days and warm summer nights without having to worry about dental problems. To help you have the top-notch summer smile you deserve, our dentist encourages you to do the following things:
-Keep up on oral hygiene: It’s very important to brush twice a day (with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste) and floss once a day (with a flossing tool that is easy to use). If you travel often during the summer, don’t forget to pack your oral hygiene tools so you can clean your smile on the road!
-Visit your dentist: If you’re due for a dental checkup during the summer months, it’s important to set a reminder for yourself. You don’t want to miss your appointment! Your dental checkups are very important, especially because they can help you prevent major dental issues, like cavities and periodontal disease.
-Wear a mouthguard: If you participate in high-contact sports and activities, then it’s very important to wear a mouthguard while doing so. A mouthguard can protect your teeth, gums and jaw when you get hit in the face with a hard object.
