Spring Is Finally Here!
The weather is getting warmer in Westchester and it is now the time of year to clean out your things, clean up your house, clean out the garage and time to review your dental hygiene routine. There are a few things you can do to spruce up your mouth for spring, get ready for days in the sun and some pearly white teeth to shine along with them.

Time For a New Toothbrush
Throw out the old tooth brush and get a new one. You have overused a brush way too long if it is starting to look worn out. If you have an electric one, it is time to order new fixture brushes for it to last the rest of the year. Stocking up on your favorite Purchase Street Family Dental recommended toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash is not a bad idea either. Summer is a busy time of year and you might forget to run by the store. Better to just be prepared with plenty of back up floss and mouthwash. You also might want to think about where you are storing your toothbrush and dental hygiene products in the bathroom. Try to store them as far away from the toilet as possible and not right next to the sink where splashes from hand washing can reach them. This can help you to stay healthy throughout the year.
Teeth Cleaning and Whitening
Take a look at those teeth in the mirror. Are they ready to be out in the sun smiling or is it time for a little cleaning and whitening? The warm coffee that we like in the winter can leave our teeth looking kind of dirty and yellow. Spring is the perfect time of year to schedule a cleaning with our Rye dentist and ask them about teeth whitening services. It might be less costly and more effective to let our dentist whiten your teeth. The dentists at Purchase Street family Dental are more qualified than the drug store to whiten your teeth safely. Scheduling a teeth cleaning and dental check-up is good to do in the spring to catch any potential cavities you might have gotten from the holiday treats you have consumed over the winter.
Getting Healthy and Eating Better
Clean out that pantry. Sugar and hot chocolate over the winter kept you nice and warm. Now it is time to get healthy with your foods and be kinder to your teeth. Get rid of high sugar content foods and replace them with healthy sugar-free and low acidic foods for the spring and summer. There are several sugar free products available at your local grocery store. Even your favorite café mocha can come sweetened with a substitute. Juices will look tasty over the spring and summer to cool your thirst, but make sure that you are getting real juice and not corn syrup filled liquid.
Spring Dental Resolution
Make a spring dental resolution to stick to a dental hygiene plan. Brush at least twice a day and make sure to floss and use your mouthwash to prevent gum disease. Don’t drink sugary products at night before bed. Commit to scheduling a cleaning and a follow-up cleaning just so you are reminded daily about your own personal hygiene. Don’t beat yourself up or make a super strict plan for yourself. Simple changes to make your smile healthier can go a long way.
