With Christmas around the corner and New Year’s Eve right after that, we know how busy you are with traveling, parties, and celebrations. However, that does not mean you should be ignoring your dental hygiene. In today’s blog, your Grinnell Street Dentistry in Sheridan, WY, has a few helpful tips on how to end the year with a healthy smile.
Keeping Up With Your Hygiene
Whether you are traveling to see family or staying at home, do not forget to follow your oral hygiene routine twice a day. If you are traveling, be sure to bring a toothbrush, paste, floss, and mouthwash in your carry-on bag. This is helpful for when you need to clean your teeth on the go.
During your holiday parties, remember to drink water occasionally as you snack. This helps rinse out your mouth after eating sugary foods and beverages. Be sure to brush and floss at least twice a day. If you have not changed out your toothbrush in the last three months, this is your reminder to do that now.
Set Your New Year’s Goals
It takes several weeks to stick to a new habit. If one of your goals for 2024 is to improve your oral health, it is best to start early. We can help you with preventive care or cosmetic services depending on your needs.
If your top priority is restoring your smile to good condition, we can help you. A checkup and cleaning can help assess what you may need help with the most. From there, we can determine if you have cavities that need to be filled or any other problems that may need to be addressed.
When you have several dental concerns that need to be treated, a full mouth reconstruction may be helpful. This will include a combination of treatments that can help you depending on your needs. Whether you need help with TMJ or need to replace missing or damaged teeth, we can help you.
Cosmetic Treatment Options
If your dental hygiene is in good shape but you want to enhance your smile, we can help with that, too. We offer a variety of cosmetic services and are here to help you achieve your goals. Invisalign is available to patients who want to straighten their smile without braces. You can combine this service with professional teeth whitening to accomplish a bright and even smile.
Tooth bonding is another cosmetic option that we have. This method involves adding composite resin to your teeth to achieve a more symmetrical smile. At your next appointment, talk to your dentist about the best cosmetic treatment for you.
