Longmont residents — your Thanksgiving favorites are secretly smiling back at you! 🦃😁✨

Thanksgiving is just a few days away! As you gather around the table this holiday season, here’s something fun: many classic Thanksgiving foods actually support your oral health.

Let’s break down some smile-friendly nutrients hiding in your holiday plate:

🦃 Turkey
Rich in phosphorus and protein — both essential for strong enamel and healthy gums.

🥔 Mashed Potatoes
Especially when made with skin or garlic, they offer vitamin C to support gum health.

🥦 Green Beans
Crunchy, fiber-filled, and great at boosting saliva flow — your mouth’s natural cleanser.

🍠 Sweet Potatoes
Loaded with vitamin A, which helps keep gum tissue strong and healthy.

🍂 Cranberries
Packed with antioxidants that help protect oral tissues (just watch the added sugar).

🥧 Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin is full of vitamin A, magnesium, and potassium — all great for your teeth and gums.
(We’ll pretend the whipped cream is optional.)

As you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast, remember: good food can be good for your smile, too.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, now’s a great time to schedule your hygiene appointment — especially with benefits expiring December 31st. We still have a few morning and afternoon openings available before the holiday rush. 🎄✨

Longmont residents — did you know your gums and blood sugar are deeply connected? 🏔️🦷💙
Diabetes doesn’t just affect the rest of your body… it affects your mouth, too. And the bacteria that cause gingivitis and gum disease can actually make blood sugar harder to control.
Here’s how:
When these bacteria enter the bloodstream, they increase inflammation, which raises A1C levels and C-reactive proteins. That spike in inflammation makes diabetes tougher to manage and increases your overall health risks.
This is why dentistry and whole-body health are intimately linked — especially for patients living with diabetes. A healthy mouth supports healthier blood sugar.
And with holiday gatherings and family photos around the corner 📸🎄, now is the perfect time to get your smile (and your health) back on track.
We still have a few morning and afternoon hygiene appointments available before benefits expire on December 31st. Let’s get you in before the schedule fills up!
Call today to reserve your visit and support your oral and systemic health.

Longmont residents — thinking about straightening your smile before the New Year? 😁✨
Invisalign® makes it easier than ever to get the smile you’ve always wanted… without brackets, wires, or lifestyle interruptions.

Why patients love Invisalign® vs. traditional braces:
🦷 Clear & discreet — most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them
😌 Comfortable — no metal, poking wires, or emergency visits
🍎 Eat what you want — just remove your aligners for meals
🗓️ Fewer appointments — and less time in the dental chair
🚀 See progress fast — many patients notice changes within weeks

And straighter teeth aren’t just cosmetic. They’re healthier.
Straight, well-aligned teeth make it easier to brush and floss effectively, reduce plaque buildup, lower your risk of gum disease, improve bite function, and even support better long-term jaw health.
A confident smile + better oral health = a win-win. 🙌

Ready to start your transformation?

📲 Call (303) 532-4549 to schedule your FREE Invisalign® consultation.
We’ll assess your goals, show you your potential results, and create a personalized plan to get you smiling confidently by the holidays.

Longmont residents — here’s something worth knowing. 🫁💙
During Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting a connection many people have never heard about:
The same bacteria that cause gum disease have been linked to lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer. 🔬

That’s why we take gum health seriously at Longmont Peak Dentistry. You are far more than a set of teeth to us — your oral health is directly connected to your overall health. ❤️
If you have gum disease (or a family history of it), you’ll often hear us recommend a 3-month hygiene schedule.
Why?

Because reducing harmful bacteria and inflammation regularly is one of the best ways to support whole-body wellness. 💪🗓️

And… it’s Use It or Lose It season. ⏳
Most dental insurance benefits expire December 31st — and we still have a few morning and afternoon appointments open.
We’ll help you maximize any benefits you have before they disappear. 💳✨

Give us a call and we’ll get you scheduled before the year wraps up.
