Happy New Year from all of us at Dr. Karen Archer Family Dental Care!
As we begin 2026, many of us are setting goals to improve our health and daily habits, don’t forget to focus on a healthy smile as well.
Here are some helpful tips to maintain a healthy smile all year long:
-
Brushing twice a day, every day. Sounds simple, but consistency is the key to preventing cavities.
-
Don’t skip flossing, this removes plaque and bacteria your toothbrush simply can’t reach. Adding this 3-4 times a week is a great start to building the habit.
-
Don’t forget to refresh your toothbrush. Start each new year with a new toothbrush or brush head if you use an electric brush. This should be replaced every 3 months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
-
And lastly, schedule your checkup and cleaning. Get ahead of your calendar by booking, preventative visits help catch small issues before they become big problems.
Join us on Sunday, January 25th from 3:00-5:00 at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre as we sponsor our annual free skate. As always, there will be free hot chocolate and Timbits.
Wishing you a healthy, happy start to the year!
