Celebrate World Smile Day With Healthy Teeth And Gums
Did you know there is another special day to celebrate in October besides Halloween? World Smile Day occurs on the first Friday in October. This day is all about spreading kindness, happiness, and joy through smiles and thoughtful acts. Even though the day has passed, we believe that spreading smiles and kindness is important every day!
Do you avoid smiling because you’re self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth and gums? Since smiles are a way we show happiness and express kindness to others, we believe having a smile you’re proud of is pretty important. With that in mind, we want to encourage you to take a moment and evaluate the state of your oral health. Have you had an oral hygiene examination and cleaning in the last six months? Are you experiencing dental discomfort or have you noticed visible issues with your teeth or gums? If any of these issues apply to you or a loved one, it’s time for a visit.
Ways to Improve Your Oral Health
Here are some ways you can maintain a beautiful smile on your own:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
- Floss daily to remove food particles and bacteria.
- Limit your sugar intake and increase the amount of water you drink daily.
- Watch out for habits that can harm your teeth, such as biting your nails, using your teeth as tools, and smoking.
If you’re in the Spring Hill, FL area and are concerned about the state of your smile, or if you need an oral hygiene examination and cleaning, we recommend contacting our office to schedule an appointment. We’d be happy to evaluate your oral health and recommend any necessary treatments. Let us help you achieve a beautiful smile!
