Times have changed a lot in the past few months. Even though you haven’t been out and about as much as you usually are does not mean your oral hygiene should be forgotten. Staying home as much as possible is essential when it comes to social distancing. This is why preventive dentistry is essential now more than ever! While it’s important to make sure you are stocked up on your oral hygiene products, a little bit can go a long way if you use it correctly. Your dentist can help you determine the perfect amount toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash to use in order to conserve your essential products while keeping your smile beautiful and healthy.

Teeth sensitivity is a common condition that affects millions of Americans. According to a study done by the American Dental Association, 12% of adults experience frequent sensitivity to their teeth or gums. Not only does it cause pain and discomfort in the mouth, but it can make it difficult to enjoy a wide variety of different foods and beverages. Tooth pain is never fun, and it can make you wonder: Is this a sign of a more serious, underlying problem? Your dentist can help you determine why you have sensitive teeth and what you can do about it.
