Forgetting to brush your teeth once or twice is not catastrophic. It’s gross and the taste in your mouth and film on your teeth will make themselves known, so much so that hopefully you won’t overlook this task again. However, if you forget to brush repeatedly, or intentionally skip this important step in your wellness routine, you’ll find yourself needing dental care soon enough.
Some people love New Year’s resolutions while others would rather play the next 365 days by ear. Whatever camp you fall into, making a deliberate choice to prioritize dental care is a great resolution anytime of year. Whether you’re determined to declare your intentions in 2026 or prefer to wait for opportunities to present themselves, adopting the following resolutions will be great for your oral health.
Most people could care less about brushing their teeth when they’re sick. No one wants to leave their bed or couch when they feel weak, dizzy, or nauseous. Unfortunately, the longer you wait to tend to your teeth, the more likely you are to develop oral health problems. When you finally do feel better, you may find yourself at your Red Bank dentist getting help for complications that developed while you were under the weather.
It’s not just children who sometimes have a fear of the dentist. Grown-ups with an unpleasant dental experience in their past, discomfort with the sound or look of dental instruments, a strong gag reflex, or budget concerns often delay or refuse necessary dental care. The result? Even bigger dental problems that require more intense treatment. It’s better to find ways to minimize dental anxiety so you can get through every necessary dental visit with as little stress as possible.
Kids love Halloween for all different reasons. Some can’t wait to dress up, put on makeup, or scare the guts out of whoever they see. Others want to carve pumpkins and decorate in the sweetest of ways. If your kids fall into the category of people who love festive candy treats, it’s important to review what’s smart and what’s not when it comes to Halloween dental care.
Brushing and flossing your teeth at home every day is essential, but this effort isn’t enough to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth clean enough. Regular dental care from a professional dentist and hygienist every six months is just as important as any other checkup with any other doctor.

Everyone wants to look their best for back-to-school season. One of the smartest and most impactful places to upgrade your appearance is with a new smile from your Red Bank family dentist. No matter your age or position on campus, whether you’re a student or someone in charge, a great smile is the most powerful school supply you can get your hands on.
If there is a problem with your teeth, gums, or jaw, you are undoubtedly a little scared and likely in pain. It’s easy to come up with excuses about why you don’t or can’t or shouldn’t or will not go to the dentist but avoiding what’s happening is not the way to a solution. Dental problems never go away on their own. Professional dental care is the only thing that can correct the problem, promote healing, and help you maintain good oral health.
May is Women’s Health Month and part of your well-being includes taking care of your smile. Women are known for putting their own personal care needs aside to tend to the people they love first, and professional dental care is one of the things that often gets neglected. Your oral health deserves TLC too so you – and your smile – can be strong and healthy.
Bones can regenerate and repair. Skin can stitch itself back together. Human teeth though cannot heal themselves. Teeth are made of enamel, the hardest substance in the human body.
