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.

The spring season brings warmer weather, beautiful blooms, and World Oral Health Day. Spring is a time of renewal, which means cleaning out of the old and bringing in the new. We spring clean our homes, our yards, our offices, our minds, so why not our teeth.

When winter swoops in and temperatures dip, your teeth can become more susceptible to a wide range of problems, like tooth sensitivity and cracks. You might think that waiting until the weather warms up to schedule an appointment is best, but the truth is your teeth need some extra love during the winter months.

Here are five things you can do to protect your teeth during the winter and beyond.

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.
