Listen To Your Gums For Oral Health Protection!
You are certainly correct if you’re thinking to yourself, “My gums don’t talk to me or make noises!” However, we remind you that when you figuratively “listen to” or interpret the signals you’re being provided by your smile, when it comes to your gingival tissue, you can often quickly snap into action when our care is required. Our Silver City, NM team encourages you to take a closer look at some things to “listen” for from your smile, so you don’t miss out on gum care with our team (and the exceptional protection it provides), if you need it.

You’ve Heard Of Spring Cleaning…But Fall Cleaning?
You know all about spring cleaning, when you dust, you toss out the stuff you don’t use anymore, you organize as much as you can, you de-clutter, and you may even extend this clean everything out mentality to your daily and long-term life schedule, too! While this can prove beneficial for your oral health, should you choose to include it in your cleanout, we are now in the midst of autumn! It’s been a while since spring, summer has passed, and now, you might have noticed that you’ve managed to accumulate some items (and let some important tasks fall by the wayside). So, our Silver City, NM team suggests: Fall cleaning! Learn more.
