Mother's Day is just a few days away....

Let’s face it; your mom is probably the first person who took you to the dentist and showed you the importance of proper oral hygiene. She probably even had to constantly force you to brush your teeth when you were little. With that in mind, remember the great things your mom taught you this weekend as you celebrate Mother’s Day. There are plenty of fun events and restaurants in Austin so treat your mom to something special! We have some great gift ideas for Mother's Day, like Kor Teeth Whitening and other dental products. Check out our website or call us at 512-263-8337 to find out more. We have dental offices in Lakeway Tx and Austin Tx.

Austin Celebrates Cinco de Mayo - Ole!

This past weekend, Austin held its 4th annual Cinco de Mayo Block Party downtown. Streets were closed from Second Street between Guadalupe and San Antonio (Pretty close to our new office!). La Condesa prepared the menu for the street food where several cultural specialties were served! Over 5,000 people were in attendance to enjoy plenty of food and live music (this is Austin of course!) But don’t worry if you couldn’t make it downtown this weekend. The Latin festivities continue next weekend with the Pachanga Festival. Performances by Los Lonely Boys and others will be held at Fiesta Gardens! http://pachangafest.com/ Dr Patel's downtown dental office is in the heart of downtown Austin.

Conquer the Oral Hygiene Aisle

We’ve all been there, standing in the dental care aisle overwhelmed by the selection of items when you ask yourself, ‘Which one should I choose?!’ From manual to electric toothbrushes to special floss and even whitening trays, it’s easy to get lost on the ‘hype’ of a product rather than its actual effectiveness. Everyone is different, so it’s difficult to just say this product is the best. Most importantly, you need to find what works best for you, which may begin with a few mistakes, but will eventually be extremely beneficial to you and your family. When shopping keep three things in mind: Soft bristle toothbrush: Hard ones can slowly wear away your enamel Fluoride toothpaste: Will help control tooth decay (Fluoride soaks in and strengthens teeth) Floss, Floss, FLOSS!: Flossing gets between the teeth and gets what your toothbrush can’t! The choice of floss is yours-scented, unscented, waxed or not, the job is still the same. So the next time you go the grocery store, don’t panic! You can conquer the Oral Hygiene Aisle. If you have more questions about dental products, toothbrushes, floss, or your overall dental care, feel free to contact our Downtown Austin Tx Dental Office or our Lakeway Tx Dental Office. We offer a full range of dental services from general dental care to cosmetic dentistry and more!

Flossing- the Triumphant Underdog

Everyone has heard that you should floss your teeth at least twice a day, but do you really know why? Flossing has key dental health benefits including cavity and plaque prevention, but it also has an impact on your overall health. Flossing regularly is closely linked with preventing heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular disease conditions. The reason for this connection is the plaque build-up in the mouth causes problems in the bloodstream, which may cause inflammation in the arteries, which then increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Flossing is one of the key areas of oral health that can be easily overlooked. Brushing and using mouth wash alone will not get the job done. So if you’re thinking about skipping flossing today, think twice. The extra couple of minutes it takes to floss can be a key to your overall health! Key benefits of flossing include:Getting rid of plaque Preventing Gum Disease Preventing Cavities Preventing Cardiovascular disease Better smelling breath Whiter Teeth If you have questions about your oral health, please contact our Downtown Austin Dental Office or Lakeway Dental Office. Dr Tejas Patel is a Dentist in Austin. He has been practicing Dentistry for the past 10 years.
