Great Tip for Valentine's Day: Good Oral Hygiene Leads to Great Kisses

Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!

If you are in the mood for some love, you're probably fully aware of the connection between the state of your mouth and the quality of your kisses.  Here's the skinny on getting lucky without embarrassment (from your mouth, anyway)!

Kick the Smoking Habit
I'm sure you're very familiar with the smoking lecture. Not only do tobacco products
taste awful to your partner, but they put you at greater risk for oral cancer and
periodontal (gum) disease. Why put so much effort into knocking your sweetheart's
socks off if you aren't going to be around to pick them up? If you don't kick the habit for
your partner, do it for yourself.

Brush and Floss
Nothing leaves an impression like bad breath, but it's not the kind of attention you want.
Besides, healthy white teeth will help you build confidence in your smile. Brushing your
teeth and gums is a good start, but take it a step further and floss each night. You'll
dislodge food particles and remove odor-causing, not to mention tissue- and tooth destroying bacteria. If you don't have your toothbrush handy after you eat, at least rinse
your mouth out with warm water. There are also a number of handy little dental products
available for great breath on the go.

Happy Valentine's Day!
