Frequent Flossing…A Great New Year’s Resolution!

While you are trying to eat less, spend less, be angry less often in 2015 there is one thing that you should do more.  Floss your teeth regularly.  Most dentists will recommend flossing after every meal.  Most of us will not be that disciplined.  If you are going to floss only once per day always be sure that it is just before bedtime.

Of course the reason for flossing is to ensure that no food particles are left to ferment on your teeth for a long period of time.  By at least doing this combined with brushing and mouthwash it has been proven that it is easier to fall asleep…and maybe just as important to wake up with fresher breath.

Modern man and woman have been given the basic tools so that they can outlive their teeth.  A qualified dentist is still essential for regular cleanings and other important dental care.  There are none better than Blackman and Bliss of Carol Stream.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream areas contact Blackman and Bliss DDS at (630) 260-0333, or visit their website at www.blackmanandblissdds.com for a variety of dental services.

Put Your Chicagoland Dentist on Your To Do List for 2015

I know…nobody wants to think about visits to the dentist ahead of time.  Here is the truth.  An alarming number of people have a fresh new amount of dental insurance for 2015 and it may go to waste just because there are no dental emergencies at this particular time.

Preventative dental care is very important, especially if you have reloaded your maximum allowable insurance for the New Year.  I am sure that you would like to avoid a root canal, an extraction, gum disease, etc. if you can.  You may be able to do just that if you visit Blackman and Bliss dentistry of Carol Stream early in 2015.

If a problem develops later in the year and requires dental surgery you may not have enough insurance to begin to cover the problem.  Dental insurance companies love routine cleanings because it means less out of their pocket later as well.

Tie a string around your finger and not around a doorknob.  Call Blackman and Bliss for all areas of general dentistry serving Carol Stream and western suburban Chicagoland.  Their phone number is (630) 260-0333.  Keep on smiling in 2015!
