This National Men’s Health Month, Make Time for Smile Care

The National Institute of Health designates special days, weeks, or months as Health Observances to promote awareness of conditions that can affect our well-being and what we can do to protect our health. 

This June is National Men’s Health Month and a great time for men across the country to prioritize self-care and take steps towards better health. In light of the undeniable connection between oral health and overall wellness, it also presents men with an ideal opportunity to focus on maintaining a healthy smile.

At the office of Smylique Dentistry, we understand the complex relationship between oral and systemic health and provide patients with the information, resources, and care they need to maintain healthy, beautiful smiles that support overall wellness. 

When it comes to men’s oral health, consider the following facts:

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 61% of men visit the dentist regularly. 
• Men have a higher risk of developing gum disease than women.

The good news is it’s not hard to improve these statistics! All it takes is making a little time to prioritize good oral care. 

The following recommendations are designed to help everyone enjoy the benefits of healthy, beautiful smiles: 

• Keep an eye on your smile. 

By scheduling appointments for routine checkups, professional dental cleanings, and routine care at our office, we can help patients of all ages keep their smiles in tip-top condition. We also teach patients the most effective techniques for brushing and flossing at home and provide nutritional guidance to support better oral health and wellness. 

• Make an appointment for a professional cleaning. 

Although a good homecare regimen of brushing and flossing is essential for maintaining a healthy smile, even the most diligent people can’t reach every nook and cranny between the teeth and gums. It’s the reason our office recommends you get cleanings twice a year.

•  Get the smile you’ve always wanted.

A beautiful smile is always in style. At Smylique Dentistry, we offer the leading cosmetic solutions to restore and rejuvenate smiles. Dr. Quagliata provides skilled care with an artistic touch to transform a less-than-perfect smile into one that inspires confidence. She also offers cosmetic facial procedures for a more vibrant and youthful complexion. 

Remember, there’s no time like the present! This National Men’s Health Month, make some time for your smile. Contact the office of Smylique Dentistry today.
