Summer is finally here, with June 21st being the official first day of summer and the longest sun lit day of the year. Whether you’re drawn to the beach, the campfire or the patio we hope you make the most of the warm weather and get outside – it will be winter again before you know it. As your children are wrapping up another school year be sure to schedule them for a dental appointment before their schedule is filled with trips, summer camps, and summer jobs.

We also want to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads on June 19th. If you’re having trouble coming up with something special to do, check out this top 25 gifts list. There’s also no shame in sticking to the classics like golfing or fishing, ties & socks – they’re classics for a reason!

Wishing you and your family a safe and wonderful summer.

Try Mouthwash with Essential Oils

Have you heard of biofilm?

Biofilm is a gooey substance that can form on any surface containing water and is exposed to bacteria. You can find biofilm on surfaces like sinks, countertops, cutting boards and yes, even inside your own mouth - Yuck! Biofilm on your teeth can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease so it’s important to take the necessary preventative measures.

Luckily we can prevent biofilm from forming by practicing good oral care including the use of mouthwash. Mouthwash is a great way to leave your mouth feeling nice and clean while also combating cavities and gum disease. It can also help prevent plaque from building up on your teeth and gums. Plaque is a type of yellowish biofilm that can form on the surface of your teeth and negatively affect your oral health.

Honey Grilled Shrimp

With the cold weather behind us you’re probably ready to take a break from those heavy, hearty meals like stew and chili. It’s time to get out the patio furniture and fire up the grill for your summer favorites.

This month we’re keeping it light with honey grilled seafood. Feel free to get creative by picking up some fresh fruit or vegetables and making kabobs.
