I have been going to this dentist office for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. I even live downtown Houston and still make the extra drive. The staff always has a smile on their face. Very kind and warm atmosphere. My dental hygienist is the best!! From her bubbly personality, to her quick and skilled cleanings, she makes it a enjoyable experience.
Dr Bautsch has great bedside manner and does a great job at making you feel comfortable.
As your dentist, we’re all for easy ways to improve your dental health. Your smile will benefit greatly if you switch out sugary drinks for water.
You may like to drink sodas or other sugary drinks. But they can do a number on your smile. For a shocking visual, check out this Mayo Clinic video that shows how much sugar is in a 20-ounce soda. All that sugar in your mouth puts you at a higher risk for cavities and other dental problems. It’s even worse if you sip on a soda over a long period, as many folks do.
If you drink several sugary drinks a day, start by swapping out one of them for water. Drinking H2O helps prevent cavities by rinsing away food particles and bacteria from your teeth. It also maintains saliva production, which neutralizes damaging acids in your mouth.
Water is great for your overall health, not just your oral health. It helps regulate body temperature and maintain your blood pressure. It aids in digestion and helps your body absorb nutrients. It can help prevent headaches and promote healthy-looking skin.
Here are some tips for upping your water intake:
- Carry a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day
- Set reminders on your phone to drink water regularly
- Flavor water with fresh fruits, herbs, or cucumber slices
- Drink a glass of water before each meal
- Use a smartphone app to track your water intake
- Eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and tomatoes
- Start your day with a glass of water
- Drink water before, during, and after exercise
- Keep a water pitcher or dispenser visible in your home or office
- Set goals for daily water intake and reward yourself for meeting them
In addition to drinking more water, you should visit us every six months for a professional dental cleaning and exam. We’ll remove damaging plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth. Your dentist will also address any small issues to prevent them from becoming more complex problems.
