“Oops, I Forgot to Floss!” What Happens & How to Fix It

By Blog

Let’s be real—flossing is like the gym membership of oral hygiene. We all know we should do it, but… sometimes we just don’t. So, what happens when you skip it? And how can you get back on track?

Day 1 of No Flossing: Nothing too crazy, but plaque is already making itself at home.

Day 3-7: Your gums may start looking a little red and puffy. Gingivitis is lurking!

One Month Later: Uh-oh. Bad breath and bleeding gums? Time to book a dental cleaning with your favorite hygienist at The Smile Studio ASAP.

The Fix? Start flossing daily (yes, daily). Water flossers can help if you hate string floss!

Forgot to floss? No judgment! But let’s get you back on track—book a dental cleaning today before your gums start holding a grudge.

Coffee, Red Wine & Teeth – A Love Story (Gone Wrong)!

By Blog

Ah, coffee in the morning and a glass of red wine at night—pure bliss. But guess what? Your teeth are not in love with this daily routine. Here’s why (and what to do about it).

Why Coffee & Wine Stain Teeth: The tannins in both beverages latch onto enamel, turning your smile into an art project (not in a good way).

How to Prevent Stains: Drink through a straw (yes, even for wine—just own it). Rinse with water after each sip.

Best Fix for Stains? Professional teeth whitening! Whitening toothpaste helps, but an in-office whitening treatment works wonders. In under an hour, your doctors at The Smile Studio can brighten your teeth by an average of up to eight shades in just one session.

Love coffee and white teeth? You can have both! Ask about our teeth whitening treatments today.

By Blog

Ever wonder what the Tooth Fairy really thinks about your dental habits? Well, today’s your lucky day! We’ve uncovered some of the best-kept secrets straight from The Smile Studio Fairy’s diary—along with a few myths she’s tired of hearing.

Myth #1: “Baby teeth don’t matter.”

Oh, but they do! Cavities in baby teeth can lead to problems in adult teeth, so keep up with brushing and regular dental checkups with Dr. Davidson!

Myth #2: “Sugar is the only cause of cavities.”

Not quite! Starches (like chips and bread) can also feed cavity-causing bacteria.

The Smile Studio Tooth Fairy Tip: “Brushing before bed is non-negotiable!”

No skipping! Plaque loves to party overnight, so brush for two minutes before bed.
