So, just how important is dental hygiene? 🤔⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
It is so important! It actually has a direct effect on your overall health. In fact, recent studies have proven that poor oral health can result in heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s disease 😱 ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
To help break it down, we've come up with 5 reasons your dental hygiene matters 🦷✨⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
1️⃣ Your dentist may be the first to discover a major medical issue⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
2️⃣ A teeth cleaning is just one of about 15 services that is provided at your regular dental check-up⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
3️⃣ More frequent dental visits result in more comfortable dental visits ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
4️⃣ Preventative dental care costs less than extensive dental treatment ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠
5️⃣ Gum disease increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, Alzheimers, and certain head and neck cancers⁣⁣⁣⁣⁠

A great oral health care regimen starts with the right products! ⁠
⁠
These are a few of our faves: ⁠
⁠◽An electric brush! We love @philipssonicare brushes. ⁠
◽A good fluoride mouth rinse. Purple listerine is our favorite over the counter rinse!⁠
◽Floss. (you knew we would go there) Check out @cocofloss for a fun twist. We also love the Listerine Ultraclean floss. ⁠
◽Whitening Maintenance products. Our @glosciencepro touch-up vials are our go-to and are available in our office for $10/each.⁠

👉🏼ETHICS 👈🏼⁠
⁠
It is of the the utmost importance when it comes to choosing a dentist for your family. You deserve to trust the person responsible for your oral health completely, and to know that they are going to treat you just like they would treat their own family member. ⁠
⁠
Dr. Rusnak, our practice owner, frequently encourages our team to "make the recommendation that is best for the patient," and "give your patient the experience you would want someone to give you." His desire to run this type of dental practice is why he made Being Ethical one of our Core Values. ⁠
⁠
These are just a few ways that we make sure our patients know we are treating them ethically:⁠
⁠
▫️We use cameras that are capable of photographing dental issues you may not be able to see yourself.⁠
▫️We take digital x-rays so that we can show you a super detailed image of any areas of concern. ⁠
▫️We try to be as realistic as possible with our patients about different treatment options. Our job is to inform you on our findings so that you can make the most educated decision possible about your oral health.⁠

Do you grind or clench your teeth at night? 💤⁠
⁠
You may benefit from wearing a nightguard! They even out the pressure across your jaw and create a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to protect them from further damage.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Nightguards are made of a hard plastic that is customized for your bite. Bonus 👉🏽 Many dental insurance plans offer assistance toward a night guard!⁠
⁠
If you're not sure whether a nightguard is a good option for you, feel free to ask us about them at your next dental visit!

🦷✨Smiles for Life is BACK! 📣⁠
⁠
We are excited to share that River Run Dental is once again participating in the nationwide charity program, Smiles for Life! Between now and June 30th, we are partnering with them to whiten smiles for charity. ⁠
⁠
Here are the details:⁠
⁠
✨ You can have your teeth professionally whitened at any of our practice locations during this window of time for $250. All the whitening supplies have been generously donated so that the entire $250 can be given to charity. ⁠
✨ Our charity partners are local non-profit @celebraterva and national non-profit @smilesforlifefoundation Each organization will receive $125 for each professional whitening that we do. ⁠
✨ This whitening product is a custom at-home whitening kit. We manufacture your custom whitening trays for you and provide you with 8 syringes of professional strength whitening gel. This is a tremendous value! The normal fee for a treatment like this would typically be ~$500. ⁠
⁠
➡️Last year we raised $15,000 for charity...⁠
Our goal this year is to raise $25,000 for charity!📣✨⁠
⁠
You can book your whitening appointment at any of our locations. Reply to this email or call our office to reserve today!

Happy National Tooth Fairy Day, #RVA! 🧚🏼‍♂️⁠
⁠
Fun fact::⁠
⁠
There are TWO National Tooth Fairy Days six months apart! Do you think it's a coincidence or just a good reminder to get your dental cleanings every six months? 😉⁠

Do you know what the #1 Chronic Childhood Disease

Do you know what the #1 Chronic Childhood Disease is? 🤔 The answer may surprise you.⁠
⁠
➡️ Tooth decay is the number one chronic childhood disease in the U.S. – even more common than childhood obesity, asthma and diabetes. Good oral care habits and routine visits with a pediatric dentist can help prevent tooth decay.

What should you look for when buying an electric toothbrush? 🦷⁠
⁠
To explain our answer, we will get a little science-y. 🧪⁠
⁠
When comparing electric toothbrushes, it's important to pay attention to the vibes (and by that we mean vibrations)! We look for high vibration frequency and amplitude (how far the bristles sweep). We recommend Sonicare electric toothbrushes due to their high frequency and amplitude. 📳⁠
⁠
Okay... so what does that mean? 🤔⁠
⁠
➡️ Less user error! ⁠
➡️ 6200 bristle movements per minute (compared to a manual brush which is only 2-300 movements per minute)⁠
➡️ Sonicare Sonic Tech pushes toothpaste interproximally (between your teeth) for more effective cleaning!
