Flossing.😕 It’s something many of my patients dread and therefore don’t do often enough. You might think I don’t notice… but I do. 🙊 If this is your struggle, head on over to my latest blog post, where I spill the beans on whether I think a water flosser is better than traditional floss.

Is lemonade bad for your teeth? Frequent exposure to acids (like those found in citrus) can cause erosion over time. 🍋 Pure water will always be the best choice, but is you're looking for some flavor, a healthier choice is sparkling water because it is less acidic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lemonade #beverages #summerdrinks #toothcare #healthysmiles #toothtime #toothtruth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #realtalk #dentistry #tooth #teeth #savingteeth #dentalclinic #odonto #odontologia #teethcleaning #cosmeticdentistry #instadentist #dentists #familydentist #pediatricdentist #inspiredentalwellness #palospark #palosheights #tinleypark #mokena #frankfort #orlandpark #orlandparkdentist ...

Hey! How did you sleep last night? 😴 As dentists, we actually *do* care how you’re sleeping because it can affect mood, judgement, ability to retain information and may increase your risk of serious injury. In the long run, it can lead to high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease - all of which effect your oral health! Even more seriously, it could lead to early mortality. If you have concerns, we’d love to chat with you!

Just because we’re cracking down on plastic straws doesn’t mean you should ditch straws altogether! 🥤 Straws are a dentist’s bff because as long as you place it towards the back of your mouth and not against your teeth you limit the exposure of your teeth to acidic and sugary drinks. Do you use straws or better yet, do you carry a reusable straw around with you? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dentalcare #dental #dentistry #dentist #tooth #teeth #dentalhygiene #dentistrymyworld #braces⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #straws #savetheturtles #reusablestraws #drinkresponsibly #happyteeth #teethtalk #dentalgram⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dentistrylove #dentistryworld #dentistsofinstagram #stayhealthy #smile #stayhappy #healthtip #inspiredentalwellness #palospark #palosheights #tinleypark #mokena #frankfort #orlandpark ...

💜🐘It's World Elephant Day! 🐘💜 Did you know 🐘 are endangered and every 15 minutes 1 elephant is killed, usually for their ivory. It is a very complex socioeconomic situation, however we'll never get these wonderful animals back once they're gone. Conservation is key and that's why I've adopted multiple elephants cared for by @sheldricktrust - they're amazing and rehabilitate elephants to get back into the wild. Paul, my husband, always joked we could go on safari once I owned a dental practice... Well, we went a few weeks before I actually owned my practice, but it was in the works! 🙃 If you should ever be so blessed to have the chance to see 🐘🐘🐘 (or whatever your favorite animal is) in person in the wild (where they belong) - don't hesitate for a moment - do it! And it was the most amazing experience of my life and may have cried a few happy tears seeing them! 😭 ...

Can anyone relate? Just be careful, your morning ritual could impact your dental health! We always remind our coffee-loving patients that you want to drink your coffee in one sitting, instead of sipping it all morning to limit your exposure to the acid that can lead to cavities. So, you don’t have to skip the coffee, you just have to sip smart. ☕😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dentaltips #dentist #dental #smile #teeth #tooth #cosmeticdentistry #orthodontics #dentalhygienist #dentalcare #veneers #teethwhitening #dentalphotography #dentalhygiene #oralhealth #health #dentalclinic #implants #dentistrylife #coffee #coffeetalk #coffeetips #inspiredentalwellness #palospark #palosheights #tinleypark #mokena #frankfort #orlandpark #orlandparkdentist ...
