Sounds routine, right?
Most people associate going to the Dentist for things like a new filling, a root canal, an implant, or maybe even braces.
Sure these are all very important services that only a Dentist can perform, but a ‘Teeth Cleaning’ appointment should come first.
There are many people who put off going to the Dentist for years. As long as nothing hurts, everything is ok, right?
Well, not so. There can be all sorts of issues that need attention before other complications will take over. Looking in the mirror won’t tell you everything you need to be aware of. 
This appointment is the moment for some valuable consultation and treatment plans to address the issues of preventative care.
Advice on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and most importantly where you stand with what may need attention today!
I found out I was brushing my teeth too hard and my gums are receding. My Dentist explained to me that a gentle brushing technique and a soft bristled brush is the only thing I need. I floss everyday , but now I found out there are also other options that are quite effective such as a Hydrofloss that actually magnetizes the water making it possible to remove a hardened dental plaque called “calculus”. Well now I want to know more about this!
The truth is the only way I’ve come to know any of this, is because I went to my ‘Teeth Cleaning’ appointment. And now I have become a little wiser. Your Dentist can explain everything to you so you’re not spending your time ‘guessing’ and wondering where you stand. Do yourself a favor- Go get your teeth cleaned!

#smilesarecontagious #dentistinphiladelphia #dentistinphiladelphia #myfamilydentalcare #asmilefeelsgood Many people say that a person’s face and countenance seems to change when they smile. In fact, in many psychological tests, people are more likely to feel better about someone who appears with a smile as opposed to a person who has a neutral expression on their face. This is because a person is seen as more attractive when they smile. People tend to behave differently around smiling, attractive people. Studies in Penn State University have found that smiling people appear immediately as more trustworthy, relatable, courteous and reliable. People trust you more as it gives you the appearance of sincerity and joy, and people are drawn to these qualities in a person. Medical studies have reported that when a human sees another smiling face, the area of their brain called the orbitofrontal cortex responds in a way that is a lot similar to receiving a “reward.” People feel

8 Reasons You Shouldn’t Avoid the Dentist Modern dental care is all about prevention and comfort. We all know somebody who looks forward to going to the dentist. You know, the kind of person who gets positively giddy at the thought of plopping down in that big reclining chair. Then there’s the rest of us—for whom a trip to the dentist ranks right up there with visiting our accountants at tax time. But the truth is, there are lots of compelling reasons for seeing your dentist at least once a year, and ideally, every six months. AVOID MAJOR DENTAL WORK With regular checkups, your dentist can spot early signs of decay at a stage when the damage can usually be reversed, which means you’ll avoid the dreaded drill. “When it comes to cavities, it’s not an all or nothing situation,” says Fotinos Panagakos, DMD, a licensed dentist and Global Director of Scientific Affairs at Colgate-Palmolive. “The tooth enamel gets broken down over time, but your dentist can detect it early a

Just over 37 percent report less than daily flossing, and slightly over 32 percent sa y they never floss. Wow! That’s just crazy! There are so many other topics of healthcare, fitness, and bad habits etc. out there that everyone is always yammering about, but this subject looks like something that is severely neglected! But don’t take my word for it. Let’s just take a look at some clear details of this topic. This is a rather raw version of the truth, but when you eat, food gets lodged in between your teeth and gums. You say, “Hey I brush my teeth everyday”; well that’s gr
