Floss Your Teeth and Gums at Least Twice a Day.

Floss your teeth regularly.  How many times have you heard this mantra?  Most dentists will recommend flossing after every meal.  Most of us don’t have that type of discipline.  If you are going to floss only once per day always be sure that it is just before bedtime.  Why not develop a habit of flossing after your mid-day meal as well?  Even in an office you can retreat to the restroom and handle that.

Of course the reason for flossing is to prevent food particles from fermenting on your teeth for hours at a time.  By at least doing this combined with brushing and swishing your teeth and gums with mouthwash before bed it has been proven that it is easier to fall asleep…and maybe just as important to wake up with fresher breath.

Today’s human has been blessed with improved medicine so that they can outlive their teeth.  A qualified dentist is still essential for regular cleanings and other important dental care.  Your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il are here to help with general dental care as well as dental emergencies.  If you live in the Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and Carol Stream area visit our office at 400 North Gary Ave. or make an appointment by calling (630) 260-1700.

One Place for ALL of Your Oral Health needs.

Have you ever been run around from specialist to specialist to take care of a dental problem?  Not only is that aggravating, but now you are in the hands of someone you have never met.  The advantages of having ONE dentist that takes care of all your oral health needs seems obvious.  Many of us still believe we need to be “bicycled” around for specialized dental care.

If you go to different dentists for different concerns you will get conflicting advice as to what treatment is needed.  Worst of all, that advice comes from strangers…not that they are not qualified.  You may get conflicting reports from your primary dentist who thinks that your orthodontist is giving you an improper diagnosis.  In the medical community there is often a “buddy system” where certain specialists will recommend people just because they are friends.

This year develop a relationship with your friends at the office of Dr. David Blackman DDS of Carol Stream Il.  If you are looking for the perfect dentist with all of the new technology and knowledge in a variety of areas that you can trust for years to come call Dr. Blackman’s office at (630) 260-1700.  Or stop in at 400 North Gary Avenue in Carol Stream to make an appointment.
