Cherokee Smiles Dental

[A MESSAGE FROM THE CDC] Many children and adults still go without simple measures that have been proven effective in preventing oral diseases and reducing dental care costs. For example, fluoride prevents tooth decay, and the most cost-effective way to deliver the benefits of fluoride to all residents of a community is through water fluoridation; that is, adjusting the fluoride in the public water supply to the appropriate level for decay prevention. Dental sealants, plastic... coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth where most decay occurs, are another safe, effective way to prevent cavities. Here are some things you can do to ensure good oral health for your child: Encourage your children to eat regular nutritious meals and avoid frequent between-meal snacking. Protect your child’s teeth with fluoride. Use a fluoride toothpaste. If your child is less than 7 years old, put only a pea-sized amount on their toothbrush. Seek advice from a dentist or other health care professional before introducing fluoride toothpaste to children under 2 years of age. If your drinking water is not fluoridated, talk to a dentist or physician about the best way to protect your child’s teeth. Talk to your child’s dentist about dental sealants. They protect teeth from decay. Regularly floss teeth. Proper tooth brushing is critically important to good dental hygiene. Parents can help their children practice proper tooth brushing by starting to clean teeth early, using the right amount of fluoride toothpaste, supervising tooth brushing, and talking to a pediatrician or dentist about a child’s specific fluoride needs. More information on caring for children’s teeth may be found at CDC’s Brush Up on Healthy Teeth pages. https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/hygiene/dental/index.html

October is National Dental Hygiene Month and we'd like you to meet Audrey, another ROCKSTAR hygienist at Cherokee Smiles! Hi, I am Audrey. I am a dog mom to my yorkie poo. I started my career here at Cherokee Smiles. I love to make people smile as well as clean them up! I grew up in Smyrna, so working here has introduced me to many new faces. When I am not working, I enjoy taking naps and attending concerts and music festivals.

October is National Dental Hygiene Month and we'd like you to meet Elaine, one of our ROCKSTAR hygienists at Cherokee Smiles! Hi, my name is Elaine Buckles. I am a mom of two sons and three grand dogs. I have been a dental hygienist for 41 years and an employee of Cherokee Smiles for 24 years! I love my patients; they are like family. I am now starting to see third generations! When I am not at work I enjoy being at the lake or gardening.

Everyone loves a clean mouth, right? And we think keeping that mouth of yours clean on the regular is worth celebrating.
