Flossing is important because it removes plaque and food from places your toothbrush can’t reach. Not flossing can cause gum disease and cavities between your teeth. Daily flossing is one of the easiest ways to keep your smile healthy. If you need help with your routine, please call us at (517) 336-9880.

When the distance between your teeth and gum tissue begins to widen, it’s a sign of gum disease. Gum disease can cause deeper spaces around your teeth known as periodontal pockets. If untreated, these pockets can lead to tooth loss, but with early diagnosis and treatment, you can curb its effects before it progresses too far and maintain your smile!

Periodontal pockets signal advancing gum disease, highlighting the critical separation between gums and teeth that endangers bone support.

Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and drink plenty of water to help strengthen your teeth and maintain your mouth's health. On the other hand, try to limit sugary snacks, sticky candies, and acidic drinks like soda and citrus juice, which can weaken enamel and lead to cavities. A tooth-friendly diet supports a healthy smile from the inside out! 😁🥕

Green tea is rich in natural compounds that fight bacteria and reduce inflammation! This makes it a great beverage for not just your oral health, but your overall wellness too.
