What you should look for when choosing a toothpaste..

You want to avoid anything that has SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) and abrasive (or gritty) toothpastes.

Try and look for toothpaste that can help break up plaque, that may kill strep (streptococci) and that can eliminate volatile sulphur compounds.

How Long Do I have To Wear Retainer?

When you get your braces taken off, you want your teeth to stay put, however in most cases without a retainer, the teeth will shift. This is why an exact mold of your teeth is made a couple weeks prior to taking off your braces and a retainer is made. The Hawley retainer is one of the more traditional types of retainers that allow your orthodontist to adjust the retainer as needed for your post braces treatment. The first couple months are the most crucial and you will need to wear the retainers at all times except when eating of course. Soon you will be wearing your retainers only at night, but you can expect this to go on for quite some time. Many users who feel they spent a lot of money on their teeth and appreciate the good work, will want to wear their retainers for several years and maybe even decades! We have known adults that still wear their retainers from when they were teenagers! Why not, it won't hurt and will only help make your teeth stay put.

Beat the Heat!

It's coming into that time of year again in Arizona where the temperatures are beyond HOT! With record breaking temps that began in January, Arizonans beware!!! It's gonna be another REALLY hot summer! I'd like to take a moment to remind you all that even though we are lucky enough to still be enjoying 90 to 100 degree temperatures, it's still important to remember to STAY HYDRATED! One of the leading causes of heat stroke in AZ is over-exposure to the sun/heat and dehydration (insufficient water/fluid intake). This doesn't just apply to us adults who are brave enough to venture out into the heat, but for you little ones and pets too!

Also, please remember, with these climbing temperatures it's never safe to leave children or pets unattended outdoors or in vehicles. It only takes several minutes to cause a lifetime of regret.

So with that said...Lather yourself up with sunscreen, grab a bottle of water and stay cool! Enjoy your Arizona summer!!

American Idol..

So another season of American Idol came and went. This was my first year actually watching it. I am pretty happy with who won. I would have liked to see someone else win who was voted off earlier, but I am happy with the end results.
Curious to see what you all thought about it and who you were voting for??
Until next season!
