Don't Forget to Floss!

If you brush your teeth at least twice a day- that is great! But don't forget that flossing is a crucial part of your hygiene regimen. Statistics show that at least 75% (that is 3 out of 4 people) have gum disease. Many folks don't even know they have gum disease. Did you know that the amount of floss bought each year per person is about 18 yards and that the amount of floss that should be bought each year is about 122 yards? Keep your gums, teeth and overall body healthy by continuing to brush and start flossing! It may even add 7 years to your life-span! For more information about gum disease and how to properly brush and floss, please visit Roselle Park Dental's Website.

Benefits of Fluoride

Ever wonder how fluoride really works? It counters tooth decay by preventing the loss of minerals from enamel and promoting reabsorption of calcium and phosphate from saliva into the enamel.

Fun Dental Fact

Here is another fun dental fact: in 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the world's first community in the world to put fluoride into its water system. Today, two-thirds of U.S. residents drink fluoridated water.

Another Fun Teeth Fact

Tooth enamel is one of the hardest substances in the human body. It develops little cracks that help to diffuse stress and prevent breaks. Even aerospace engineers study enamel and its properties as a muse for building stronger aircraft.

Take Care of Your Dental Treatment!

Don't ignore your dental problems! If you need to have a cavity filled, visit the dentist as soon as possible. Cavities get larger over time and may reach the nerve. Once that happens, you may need a root canal or extraction. That's why prevention and treatment are vitally important to your dental health. If you have outstanding dental treatment that you need to complete, please call Roselle Park Dental at (908) 245-1745 or visit our website at www.roselleparkdental.com to set up an appointment.
