Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, hoping you are all feeling JUST RIGHT today:)

Here at Casa Smiles we are happy to share that we now have a great new product that will help take the guess work out of prepping your little one’s toothbrush when it’s time to brush. Dispensing the right amount of any preventive medication for your child is important. Fluoride should be no exception. Like most parents, you probably think that more fluoride is better for your child’s dental health. But did you know that too much can actually be bad? The American Dental Association’s (ADA) latest permanent whited spots on teeth, a condition called fluorosis.

Too much toothpaste equals too much fluoride. For this very reason, Casa Smiles is pleased to facilitate in helping parents dispense the amount that is JUST RIGHT by having this great product available to all of our Casa Smiles families.

The revolutionary Just Right is a metered dose pump that takes the guesswork out of giving your children the optimum amount of fluoride each time they brush. JUST RIGHT delivers a pea-sized (.25 gram) dose of toothpaste each time the pump is dispensed. A half pump yields a rice grain-sized (1.25 gram) dose ideal for children less than 3 years of age.

JUST RIGHT is easy to use, mess free, and has a convenient dispenser, resulting in cleaner sinks and counters, less waste, and saved money. JUST RIGHT has a great Berry Blast flavor that kids love. The JUST RIGHT 6 Month Anti-cavity Kit includes everything you need for the proper dosage and for the perfect amount of time. The kit includes 2 brushes featuring kid-sized heads and large handles, making it ideal for adults to assist by holding the brush while teaching children proper oral hygiene. A 6 month supply of toothpaste is perfect because it serves as reminder to schedule your child’s next dental appointment. You don’t even have to worry about buying toothpaste at your local store until you come and visit Casa Smiles. The reason the kit brings 2 toothbrushes (in fun colors) is to also remind you to start with a fresh toothbrush every 3 months.

Thank you for tuning in on today’s Happy “Tooth-Day’s” report!

I look forward to chatting with you all next week!

Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, wishing you well on this lovely day in September.

If you have a teen with braces, you know how much work it is to keep their teeth clean. Brackets and wires make flossing and keeping your teeth free from extra food particles very challenging. So today I would like to remind parents of a great solution that is very useful for those with braces and the whole family. Water flossing is perfect for anyone with braces, implants, those with crowns, bridges, and veneers.

Water flossing provides a unique combination of water pressure & pulsation to clean deep between teeth & below the gum line, removing harmful bacteria & debris that traditional brushing & flossing can’t reach. New pulse-modulation technology gives you customized water pulsation for the best possible cleaning. Water flossing provides maximum plaque removal & enhanced gum stimulation.

Reasons to Water Floss:

Easy. Just point the flosser tip between your teeth and along the gum line, and let it do all the work for you.
Fast. Water Flossing takes only a minute a day, making it easy to improve your oral health and enjoy the cleanest, freshest mouth possible.
Effective. Water flossing removes the plaque and debris lurking deep between teeth and below the gumline, where it’s hard to reach with traditional brushing and flossing.

When your little ones become a little bit independent with brushing & flossing, you can help them by getting them a Kids water flosser. The ones for kids are custom models with a small & simple design that makes flossing easy for children ages 6 & up. The one by Waterpik features an extra safe, kid-proof electrical design, and easy fingertip controls. It also includes a special Orthodontic tip.

At your visit to Casa Smiles make sure to ask our friendly front desk team about all of the Water flossing options we offer. Any clinical questions can be answered by our amazing Orthodontist or Pediatric Dentists.

Week 3: Second Molar Triumphs Over Tartar the Terrible, Shows Off Healthy Oral Routines

Posted on March 1, 2016 by casasmiles

Happy “Tooth-Day”!

Farah Flossit here, wishing you well!:)

Taking on a Mouth Monster is a cinch for a Second Molar with Healthy Oral Routines. Executing moves he learned in practice with a Pediatric Dentist, the victorious tooth dodged sugary foods and drinks and chose tap water for his water bottle instead. The Mouth Monsters feasted on sour gummies, but Second Molar avoided sticky situations on the court and in his lunch box. He munched on carrots and apples to keep his oral care game fresh and clean between brushing.

See what Channel 7 is saying about Mouth Madness!

It’s the perfect time to talk to your kids about saving their teeth! February is National Children’s Dental Health Month.
