Do You Floss Before or After You Brush?
Should You Floss Before Or After Brushing Your Teeth?
The question is not whether to floss…that one is a given. You should floss your teeth, EVERY DAY!
The question is whether to floss before or after you brush your teeth. And that question of course hinges on whether you actually floss at all.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends flossing at least once a day to help remove plaque from the areas between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Flossing – whether before or after you brush your teeth – is important because if that sticky, foul-smelling plaque is not removed by brushing and flossing – twice or thrice daily – then that putrid plaque will eventually solidify into calculus or tartar.

Quit Smoking With These 6 Steps
In case you haven’t heard, smoking is bad for you…and you should quit!
Like, today.
Aside from the myriad of oral & overall health maladies all smokers will eventually deal with, we now live in a time when there are so many helpful resources available to those who currently smoke and want to quit.
In honor of the Great American Smokeout that took place on November 19th, we’ve decided to outline 6 steps to quitting smoking as displayed on this slideshow by the American Dental Association.
Get a jump on yours, or someone you love’s, New Years Resolution – share this info to finally kick those butts to the curb once and for all.
6 Steps to Quit Smoking
Nobody said quitting smoking was going to be easy, but there are few things in life worth doing that are easy.
Well, maybe that’s not true.
Sure, eating fast food isn’t good for us either but some of us think it tastes good and can certainly go for a Big Mac® every now and again.
Getting a Big Mac® is pretty easy…but quitting smoking isn’t, no matter who you are.
There’s a reason it’s called an addiction, so let’s examine those six steps laid out by the ADA without any further delay. Read the rest of this entry »

4 Holiday Foods That Are Bad For Your Teeth
During the Holiday Season we’re all more than a little bit more inclined to nosh on some less than healthy foods, and it makes sense that some of those foods that are bad for your teeth – and give you bad breath.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Festivus, eating & drinking a little more than normal is just part of the season.
It’s just the effects all of that eggnog, hamentashen, sweet potato pie – or any other sweet holiday treat we indulge in a little too much this time of year – has on our breath & oral health.
But while we can all enjoy the over-indulgence that comes along with the Holidays, you can also take some precautions to prevent from having to habitually mask your dragon breath, and visit the dentist more in the coming year.
Take a look at some of the most popular holiday foods we tend to consume too much of this time of year…much to the detriment of your dental health, and quite possibly to those in close enough proximity to smell your bad breath. Read the rest of this entry »

How Does Dental Insurance Work?
As we endure the Thanksgiving hangover, we’d like to take another opportunity to remind our patients here in Somerset & Franklin Township NJ about maximizing their dental insurance benefits.

But enough of the disbelief, let’s get into the nitty gritty of saving you money on dental health. Read the rest of this entry »
