June is National Smile Month

According to the American Dental Association, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature, which is why it's important for our team at Orthodontic Associates, Ltd to support National Smile Month this June.

So that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come, Drs. Maoloni and Pope suggest that patients plan ahead to maintain a normal oral hygiene routine even while on-the-go. We recommend that you use your electric toothbrush three times per day for the full two minutes. You should also minimize your consumption of sugary beverages, including sports drinks, unless it is really hot out and you are sweating a lot. After drinking sports beverages, please rinse out with water or brush your teeth. If you're going on vacation or to camp, don't forget your toothbrush!

Have a great summer, and don't forget to show off your pearly whites!
