Any month is a great time for a checkup and dental cleaning, but this time of year, in particular, has its added benefits. If you’ve been putting off your next visit, now may be a perfect time to make your appointment. We know the holidays can be hectic, but scheduling your appointment at the start of the new year can help ensure your smile is ready for 2022.

Each year about 2 million people require an emergency room visit for dental pain. Don’t wait! You should see your dentist at Downtown Dental right away if you experience any of these.

We know, we know. We're always on you about brushing and flossing, but we know how important it is. And just because we hit vacation mode on our emails, phones, and even our minds, be sure you don't hit the out-of-office on your dental care.

Here are a few things you can do, or steer clear of, for better dental care during the busy holiday season.

Thanksgiving is here. Doesn't it feel like it just happened? This year might be a little different, but we're still happy to celebrate gratitude. Thanksgiving Day serves as a reminder to be grateful for all that we have in our lives. We are so thankful for our health, family, friends, co-workers, and of course, our patients.

This Thanksgiving, we'd like to encourage you to be thankful for one more thing... your teeth! It may sound a little silly to give thanks for those pearly whites, but hear us out.
