| Summer is finally here! |
June 21st is the official first day of summer and the longest sun lit day of
the year. Whether you're drawn to the beach, the campfire or the patio we hope you make the most of the warm
weather and get outside - it will be winter again before you know it.
As your children are wrapping up another school year be sure to schedule them for a dental appointment before
their schedule is filled with trips, summer camps, and summer jobs.
Wishing you and your family a safe and wonderful summer.

| Try Mouthwash with Essential Oils |
Have you heard of biofilm?
Biofilm is a gooey substance that can form on any surface containing water and is exposed to bacteria. You can find biofilm on surfaces like sinks, countertops, cutting boards and yes, even inside your own mouth - Yuck!
Biofilm on your teeth can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease so it is important to take the necessary preventative measures.
Luckily we can prevent biofilm from forming by practicing good oral care including the use of mouthwash. Mouthwash is a great way to leave your mouth feeling nice and clean while also combating cavities and gum disease. It can also help prevent plaque from building up on your teeth and gums. Plaque is a type of yellowish biofilm that can form on the surface of your teeth and negatively affect your oral health.
