TOP TEETH: Spring is Here!! An Update from The Best Dentist in Manhattan, Cosmopolitan Dental and Mover and Shaker Dr. Garo Nazarian!

SPRING CLEAN YOUR TEETH TO AVOID GUM DISEASE            

Spring cleaning is not just for houses - it is also a great outlook to adopt when it comes to avoiding gum disease. Spring is a great time to tackle the hidden oral hygiene problems that could be undermining your body's overall health!

Cosmopolitan Dental recommends the following approach to spring cleaning our mouths:

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day for around two minutes. According to theAcademy of General Dentistry, the average person only brushes for 45 to 70 seconds a day.
  • To ensure that signs of gum disease are spotted and treated as soon as possible, visit your dentist on a regular basis. Haven't been to your dentist for a while? Pick up the phone and make that all important appointment.
  •  Think about what you eat and its effect on your health.

FUN FACTS
DID YOU KNOW?
  • Say cheese! The calcium and phosphorous found in cheese is healthy for your teeth - it reduces the pH level in plaque and re-mineralizes the enamel.
  • The average woman smiles about 62 times a day! A man? Only 8! Kids laugh around 400 times a day. Adults... just 15.
  • 50% consider the smile the first facial feature they notice.
  • A person's set of teeth is unique much like their fingerprints. Even identical twins do not have exactly the same set of teeth. Did you know that your tongue print is also unique?
