For whatever reason, far too many people settle for an unattractive and unhealthy smile after they’ve lost one or more teeth.

It could be because they’re afraid of what it would cost, financially and otherwise, to replace their missing teeth.

It could also be because they see only one inevitable option in their future and simply can’t accept the limitations that come with a life of wearing dentures.

But you have more choices than that when you come to Times Square Dental!

Most of the time, fear is a healthy emotion that keeps you from doing things that put you in harm’s way. Rather than walk down a dark alley alone late at night, you think maybe it’s a better idea to stay on a more public, well-lit path.

Thank goodness for instinct, right?

But when fear becomes irrational and keeps you from participating in life’s important events or from taking proper care of yourself, that’s when it’s time to do something about it.

Your oral health is intimately linked to your total body health.

Isn’t it ironic that we have a world of information at our fingertips thanks to the smartphone, yet it seems harder than ever to get the facts?

This is true about a host of topics, but especially when it comes to your health.

One study today can be contradicted by another study tomorrow.

It makes knowing how to keep your mouth healthy more confusing than ever!

But fortunately, you can count on our team at Times Square Dental to help you keep it all straight. Our goal is to give you thorough cleanings and exams at least twice a year and to arm you with the best information.

With each new season, there are certain things we have to consider if we want a healthy, beautiful smile.

We’ve been talking in this month’s blogs about spring and how it can affect your teeth and gums. From protecting your mouth during an increase in activity level to whitening your smile for special events, this turn of the season demands certain changes to your approach to good oral health.

Another one that inspired today’s blog is how spring is a popular time to focus our attention on tidying things up, do some decluttering, and sort of pressing the restart button on our lives in some ways, big and small.

In just four short days, the entire globe will be celebrating World Oral Health Day. Every year, dental professionals work to spread awareness about best oral care practices, volunteer their time, resources, and expertise to underprivileged communities with free dental checkups, and promote healthy lifestyles that will preserve your teeth and gums.

In that spirit, our team at Times Square Dental in Boise, ID is running through a checklist to keep in mind as you aim to achieve your best dental health!

If you’ve been thinking about starting your spring cleaning, consider adding your smile to that list!

At Times Square Dental, you can remove stubborn stains and brighten your teeth with professional teeth whitening.

Dr. Hastings or Dr. Dial can talk to you about our options, both in-office or take-home systems, and help you decide which will work best for you.

In the meantime, take a look at today’s infographic to see why you should clean up your smile this spring with our powerful whitening treatment!
