Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

added on: January 15, 2018

As we roll into 2018, we all make grandiose lists of resolutions. In our minds we think of all of the things that we want to do to improve upon ourselves, our health, our finances, or our lives in general. But let’s be honest, by the end of February, most of those resolutions have fallen by the wayside. Our Georgetown dental office has some suggestions for some health- related resolutions that you can actually keep… and feel really good about at the same time.

1 – Quit Smoking

Ok, so this one might be the hardest of all to keep, but we know you can do it. Both regular and smokeless tobacco comes with increased risk of heart disease, any number of cancers, yellow teeth, plaque buildup, and general stinkyness. If you need help or resources for putting down the pack, just ask at your next visit.

2 – Turn off the Tap

We’ve told you all year long about our ‘Save 90 a Day’ program in partnership with the Eco-Dentistry Association. Leaving the water running while you brush your teeth wastes almost 90 glasses of water A DAY. A DAY! Make an effort to turn off the tap when you’re brushing your teeth to help conserve water and help the environment.

3 – Eat More Fruits and Veggies

Crunchy fruits and veggies like apples and carrots can remove tooth plaque and freshen your breath. Plus, these healthy snacks are packed with antioxidant power to help kill bacteria and prevent inflammation, not only in your teeth and gums but in your whole body.

4 – See Your Dentist

Your 6 month cleaning is much more than ‘just a cleaning’… we’re checking for decay, cavities, and also gum disease. We’re also looking for early warning signs of larger, whole-body issues that can first appear in your mouth. Plus, this is a great time to talk about any cosmetic concerns that you may have, or plan out treatments to improve the look of your smile.

There’s never been a better time to make some resolutions that you can actually keep, and improve your health and the environment while you’re at it! Schedule your appointment at our Georgetown dental office today and let us help you make 2018 the best year ever!
