How Clean are Your Teeth? How Fresh is Your Breath?

Don't you just love that "fresh from the dentist office" clean and fresh feel? That day, my teeth so clean! I am sure that there is nothing nasty hanging out below my gums to ruin my fresh breath. Unfortunately, the minute I eat, that feeling goes away. I try so hard to brush and floss. I also enjoy things that make my breath not so fresh...coffee, onions, garlic, ....

I must admit that I notice bad breath and discolored teeth. I'm sure that it is because I sit in the dentist office day in and day out. I see the difference of our patients teeth from entering to the last good bye. Believe you me, there is a difference. That's why you go to the dentist, right? Sure, we are taking care of our teeth, but we don't want Yuck mouth.

I was driving one our younger patients in a carpool recently and noticed that her teeth looked stained. I told her she was due for a cleaning. She said, "I know, it is just hard. I don't want to miss school, and I can't miss swim practice". Even young people have scheduling issues. This young person is one of my person favorites, she is our DAUGHTER! Yes, it is even hard for us to manage good cleaning schedules!
