June 29, 2015

los fresnos summer travel tipsSummertime is a glorious time for families across the United States. It’s the time of the season where everyone is traveling. It makes sense — school is out and parents are on vacation from work. It’s the perfect time to get away from it all and enjoy a little rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, some patients take the relaxation part a little too seriously and don’t receive dental treatment during these crucial months. There is temptation everywhere in the form of
food and other sugary treats. These treats, no matter how good they taste, can leave your smile in tatters and cause big problems if they aren’t taken care of.

Our office in Los Fresnos, TX wants you to have a wonderful summer, but scheduling an appointment is very important before you hit the road. This gives us ample time to diagnose any current problems while keeping a close eye on issues that may turn into bigger ones. A general checkup can leave your mouth feeling clean and healthy throughout these exciting summer months. Before you pack your bags and head on your adventure, schedule an appointment just so we can make sure everything looks great. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Super-Mom’s 5 Secrets

Summer is a breath of fresh air for kids. No school for your kids means late nights, spending time with friends and getting into who-knows-what during the day. Heed these five friendly dental tips so you and your kids can breeze through the summer without any problems.

 

#1 What To Do: Knocked-out tooth

  • Put tooth in glass of milk (or store inside mouth to keep it moist. Remember: DO NOT BITE)
  • Don’t touch the root of the tooth
  • See the dentist immediately

#2 Helpful Nutrition Hacks

  • Probiotic-rich meals regulate phytic acids in the digestive system, which are kryptonite for teeth.
  • Homemade bone broths (chicken, beef, or lamb with ample vegetable servings) improve absorption of Vitamins A, D, E, and K and other minerals which are essential for life and beautiful smiles. Plus, they are easy to cook!
  • Limit grains and sugars – residues from these can cause rapid decay and cavities.

 #3 Easy Dental Tips

  • Keep a toothbrush and floss kit available to grab on-the-go. It’s perfect for a single-day adventure at the beach or camping.
  • Use non-alcoholic mouthwash to rinse and brush after being in the ocean all day.
  • Purchase cinnamon-flavored floss because it will make this important task that much sweeter.

#4 Dentist’s Gentle Solutions: Get It Done!

  • Easy, single-visit, multi-patient scheduling for families
  • 1-hour crowns scheduled during lunch breaks
  • Convenient evening and weekend scheduling
  • PLUS summer discounts

#5 Fight Boredom: Top 5 Websites for Kids
