This month-long celebration gives our team the opportunity to offer educational resources to help men improve the oral and whole body health. At D&amp;G Dental of Caldwell and West Orange, we invite our male patients to call to schedule a dental checkup this month if it\u2019s been more than six months since your last appointment. Studies indicate that men are significantly less likely to maintain their regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgdental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">preventive dental care<\/a> appointments, so what better way to celebrate men\u2019s health month than with a visit to our Caldwell dentistry office.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Men\u2019s Dental Health Services<\/h2>\n<p>Every patient at D&amp;G Dental receives a customized treatment plan to meet their unique oral health care needs. Since men are almost twice as likely as women to experience tooth decay, gum disease, and dental trauma, your regular dental exams and teeth cleanings will focus on monitoring your smile for warning signs of these oral health concerns and partnering with you to keep your smile healthy. Some things that can increase your risk for oral health issues include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dry mouth often caused by medications and prevalent among men 50 and older<\/li>\n<li>Low testosterone levels can increase risk for gum disease<\/li>\n<li>Deep pits and grooves in larger teeth can be difficult to clean<\/li>\n<li>Ineffective at-home hygiene<\/li>\n<li>Failing to use sportsguards to protect teeth during athletic practice and competition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If any of these things apply to you, our team can help you create an ongoing care plan to address oral and overall health issues immediately and avoid advanced dental health concerns.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintaining Healthy Smiles At-Home<\/h2>\n<p>We only get to see you twice a year (if that), so your at-home hygiene routine plays a significant role in whether or not you\u2019ll be able to maintain your oral health. The following are tips to keep your smile healthy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brush teeth for at least two minutes at a time<\/li>\n<li>Brush at least twice a day, but add brushing between meals for best results<\/li>\n<li>Brush gently using a soft bristled toothbrush \u2013 aggressive brushing won\u2019t remove more plaque and may damage gums<\/li>\n<li>Floss at least once each day to remove plaque and tartar buildup between teeth<\/li>\n<li>Use sportsguards to protect teeth during athletic events and competitions<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use teeth as tools to open packages or crack nuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Meet the D&amp;G Dental Team<\/h2>\n<p>The D&amp;G Dental team invites you to celebrate men\u2019s health month in one of our two state-of-the-art dentistry practices in Caldwell and West Orange.
