Christmas Cheer: The Dental Connection!

Spreading Holiday cheer begins with Fresh Breath! Not only during the Holidays, but every day of the year, keeping your teeth clean and your breath minty fresh, can be a struggle for many people.  Although good oral hygiene is the first step, there are many other factors that can contribute to bad breath such as tobacco, a dry mouth, medications, sinus issues, foods and gum disease.

So if Buddy the Elf's famous quote about the fake Santa, "your breath smells like beef and cheese." is hindering you from spreading Christmas cheer, then remember that visiting our office for regular cleanings and exams can keep your holidays fresh and bright!

If you are in need of an appointment to freshen up your breath this holiday season, call our office at 918-455-0123!
