June is not only a month to celebrate Father's Day and the start of summer— it's also National Men's Health Month. It's a great time to remind the men in your lives to prioritize their overall well-being, including oral health. At the office of Brockport Smiles, we do more than create healthy, beautiful smiles. We give our patients the information and resources needed to support optimal oral health and wellness.

For Dads, sons, brother, relatives, and friends, the message is clear. By practicing good oral hygiene, making healthy lifestyle choices, and seeking professional dental care, one can maintain a confident smile that supports overall well-being.

To commemorate National Men's Health Month, we offer these guidelines and recommendations for maintaining oral health and a vibrant smile: 

• Good oral health begins with good oral care - In addition to brushing, flossing, and doing all one can to keep their teeth and gums clean at home, it's essential to make appointments as recommended by our office for professional dental cleanings and routine care. 

• Follow a healthy diet for a healthy smile – Eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, vitamins, and nutrients. Limit sugary and acidic food or beverages that promote tooth decay.

• Play it smile safe- Wear a protective mouthguard when playing contact sports or recreational activities that put one at risk of an oral injury.

• Avoid smoking, chewing tobacco, and alcohol- The habits and lifestyle choices can raise one's risk of oral cancer and other diseases that can compromise oral health and overall wellness. 

A beautiful smile begins today

June is also an excellent time for everyone to restore, renew, and rejuvenate their smiles. At the office of Brockport Smiles, we offer the leading solutions for healthy, beautiful smiles. From dental prevention and dental restorations to cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and much more, our professional team provides the best options in care!
