Kick Your Sugar Habit This Year
As we enter 2025, why not make a resolution that’s sweet for your teeth? Reducing sugar intake can dramatically improve your dental health. At Shenton Park Family Dental, we’ve seen firsthand how this simple change can transform smiles.
Sugar is a primary food source for harmful bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria produce acid, leading to tooth decay and cavities. By cutting back on sugar, you’re essentially starving these unwanted guests!
Start small: Swap sugary drinks for water or unsweetened alternatives. Choose fresh fruits over processed snacks. Read labels to identify hidden sugars in foods.
Remember, it’s not about deprivation but making smarter choices for your smile. Your taste buds will adapt, and your teeth will thank you!

Flossing 101: Making It a Daily Habit for a Healthier New Year
Let’s face it, flossing isn’t always the highlight of our day. We know it’s a game-changer for your oral health. This year, let’s make flossing a non-negotiable part of your daily routine!
Flossing reaches the 35% of your tooth surfaces that brushing alone can’t clean. It removes plaque, prevents cavities between teeth, and keeps your gums healthy. The best part? It only takes a couple of minutes!
To make flossing a habit keep floss visible as a reminder. Floss at the same time each day, like right after brushing. Use floss picks if traditional floss is challenging.
Remember, it takes about 21 days to form a habit. Stick with it, and soon flossing will feel as natural as brushing.
