Winter is upon us, and with it comes the dreaded cold and flu season. Aside from the obvious precautions, such as washing your hands, covering your mouth when coughing and staying home from work when sick, you should also pay special attention to your oral health habits.

At Grove Dental, we want our patients to be healthy. Did you know that one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming re-infected after a cold or flu is by replacing your toothbrush? If you or a family member has been ill, be sure to discard your old toothbrush and get a new one to avoid re-contaminating yourself with germs every time you brush. Also, never store family members' toothbrushes together in a drawer or cabinet to avoid spreading cold or flu germs with other members of your household.

Even when you're healthy, be sure to replace your toothbrush regularly for good dental health. A toothbrush that's worn and not clean can be a source of bacteria and germs and may cause other dental related problems.

Start the new year off right at Grove Dental!It's that time of year again when people everywhere resolve to get healthy. This may include eating better, kicking your tobacco habit and starting that exercise program you've been putting off for months. Taking better care of ourselves is a common resolution many of us make as we look ahead to a fresh new year. When compiling your own list of resolutions for 2011, don't forget to keep your dental health in mind, too.

At Grove Dental, we make maintaining a healthy smile easy all year long. Never underestimate the value of your regular cleaning and exam and always make an appointment with your dentist for any discomfort or dental problem that arises. Paying careful attention to proper brushing and flossing, monitoring your diet and taking advantage of cosmetic dental services are all ways to give yourself a bright, healthy smile.

This New Year, resolve to take care of your smile. Start with a regular cleaning, exam and consultation. Ask us about smile-enhancing dental treatments, such as teeth whitening, veneers and Invisalign. Don't delay; the beautiful smile you've always wanted is waiting for you!

Happy New Year to you and your family from all of us at Grove!
