September 2014: news, eTips and More!

Are You in Back to School Mode?

With kids heading back to school, September often feels like summer is over, for everyone. But there are many more months of nice, warm weather, so be sure to do all the things you would like to do before the temperature drops!

Remember to take a moment every day to relax and breathe; while the immediate effect may not be obvious, stress and oral health are related. Stress contributes to grinding and clenching teeth, canker sores and even gum disease. We suggest starting your day off with a nutritious breakfast and thinking positively about the day ahead while you brush your teeth and floss. Not only will this give you a few minutes to yourself, it will help to ward off some of the effects of stress on your oral health.

Have a safe and healthy month,

The Team at ParkPlace Dental
