February Is The Month Of Love

Love comes in all shapes and sizes and it can be big gestures or small incremental changes. No matter where you are at this month, commit to making changes with your smile. Smiling is your greatest asset or your worst enemy. Dr. Rice suggests, “If you have spent time brushing, flossing, visiting the dentist and eating healthy, you may have a smile that has a wow factor.” But sometimes you may skip the flossing or only brush 1x a day. All of these decisions can be detrimental in the long run to the health of your smile.

This February show your gums you love them. If you brush only 1x a day, commit to brushing 2x a day. If you don’t floss, purchase floss you like, or a water pic and change your daily habit. If you’re struggling to visit the dentist regularly, schedule your appointment today and don’t wait. Each passing day can cause more problems to your smile and eventually impact your overall options and your pocketbook.

You only have one set of gums and everyone should be allowed to have them for a lifetime. “This year can be the year, you let your gums know how important they are to you,” says Dr. Denine Rice.
