Let’s face it, without proper oral hygiene and dental exams, your mouth could easily take after the smiles adorning the glowing jack-o-lanterns this month.  So what better time to discuss hygiene and health for your oral cavity?  And as a bonus, it’s National Dental Hygiene Month!  Our Polaris dentist and staff love this time of year.  We enjoy discussing dental hygiene and adore hearing about the tricks, treats, and costumes that roam the streets every year.   However, candy and smiles don’t always go hand in hand.

As a dentist Polaris patients visit for their family and cosmetic dentistry needs, would it also surprise you to learn that we are overly concerned about your overall health needs as well?  We hope it doesn’t come as a surprise.  In fact, recently our Polaris dentist staff was discussing the Great American Smoke-out Day and wondered how we could help people quit smoking.  If you missed the big day and are a regular smoker, have no fear.  We propose you create your own quit day and challenge yourself to go smoke-free for at least 24 hours.
