Healthy Living Starts With A Smile

What comes to mind when you hear the term “healthy living?” A dinner plate with a grilled chicken breast and carrot sticks? The sound of your feet rhythmically hitting the ground on your favorite jogging footpath? A cholesterol test indicating that your arteries are looking good? If you pictured a white, healthy smile or a dental X-ray showing no decay, we salute you.

At Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center, we encourage everyone with a smile (that includes you!) to include oral health in your definition of “healthy living.”

When done properly and consistently, brushing and flossing are an essential component of everyday oral hygiene. Brushing should be done at least twice a day. We recommend a soft-bristled toothbrush to safeguard your gums. Brush your teeth in small, circular motions for 2-3 minutes, and be sure you reach all the surfaces.

Flossing should be done once a day and is needed for reaching the areas where a toothbrush cannot. A wide variety of floss can be found at Wilmette stores, so experiment until find one you like.

I’m Doctor Dino Mantis of Mantis Dentistry & Implant Center. As a healthcare provider, I am devoted to helping each of my patients tap into oral health and avoid tooth and gum problems that can compromise their all-around health.

And just as some healthcare providers serve you with cosmetic procedures, I also offer services that improve the aesthetics of your smile. Ask us about porcelain veneers, dental implants, invisible braces, white fillings, inlays/onlays, and same-day teeth whitening.
