Show Some Sugar-Free Love this Valentine’s Day

It’s a shame that Valentine’s Day, so commonly celebrated with chocolate and candy, falls not long after many of us have finally gotten in the swing of our sugar-free goals or fitness resolutions.

Or, if we haven’t renewed a gym membership or purchased new yoga pants, we might be feeling the weight (quite literally) of holiday excess and indulgence. Sugar might be the last thing on our minds; however, it is the go-to gift as far as Cupid (and the National Retail Federation) is concerned, with candy listed as the most popular gifting item at 56%.

Our team decided to put our heads together in order to offer some sweet, but sugar-free ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year. Show your teeth and gums some love by skipping the sugar…

Check out our quick recap on how to protect your oral health with some smart hygiene tips.

No Trick, All Treat: We’re Collecting Candy!

During the summer, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.” In the fall, let’s not forget all the things that make us scream during “spooky” season! All of the little (less frightening and more adorable) ghosts, vampires, and skeletons will be running door-to-door and hopefully collecting more treats than tricks on Halloween night.

And it’s those treats that our team is especially interested in…

The Tooth Fairy is Coming to Town!

Did you know that August 22, 2021 marks National Tooth Fairy Day? In honor of this fun observance, we thought it was only fitting to talk about our patients who she visits. The children who come to Crown Dental often begin their oral health journey even before their first tooth comes in.

According to The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), children should see the dentist by the time they turn 1 year old or after their first tooth erupts, which often occurs around six months.

Good oral hygiene habits, supported by regularly scheduled cleanings, will help keep the Tooth Fairy’s visits in check, ensuring your child’s smile stays strong and healthy.

If you can dodge some of these items now and again, your teeth will thank you!

We suggest you enjoy the following in moderation, making sure you brush and floss as soon as possible afterwards…
