January Edition: New Year, New You, New Smile!

You may have heard the saying “New Year, New You.” But have you ever considered a New Smile? Every year we make resolutions and set personal goals to be healthier, more organized, get out of debt, etc.  With a new year underway, what better time to commit to becoming a better version of yourself? And why not start with a brighter, healthier smile? As we say at Bowie Dental Wellness, your smile is well worth it. The good news is that you are not alone; let us help you kick off your fresh start in 2017! Here are some simple habits to start with.

Top 5 Smile Goals

·      Brush for 2 minutes 2x per day.
·      Floss at least once per day.
·      Use a mouth rinse, such as Listerine or Crest Pro-Health, 2x per day to reduce the number of bacteria that cause bad breath and gum disease.
·      Chew sugarless gum (i.e. Orbit or Trident) after meals when brushing is not possible.
·      Ask about your treatment plans and schedule your next appointment.

Dental Implants

Is Losing a Tooth Bad?

Losing even one tooth can cause your other teeth to shift. This IS bad. Missing a tooth can change your ability to chew and hinder your ability to absorb your food's nutrients. If you have several missing teeth, your face may begin to look sunken. Your ability to speak may be impaired.

We recommend replacing missing teeth with dental implants. They look natural, they work like real teeth, and even a dentist will have a hard time telling the difference.

Dental Bridges

Bridges for Missing Teeth!

If you have one or more missing teeth, a bridge may be an option. It is custom made from the best materials, and it will provide chewing stability (with a crown on each side). It fills in the gap in your smile and functions comfortably and completely.
