Springtime is just around the corner! With the change in season comes a bustle of activity. You'll soon be swapping out your wardrobe, cleaning your house, and maybe even starting a new diet to work on that summer waistline.

Don't forget to include your toothbrush in this season's fresh makeover!

Here are some tips for spring cleaning your smile…

Schedule A Dental Visit

There's no time like right now to make sure you're up-to-date on your dental appointments. Regular cleanings throughout the year will help you stay ahead of dental problems. By seeing an Atlantic Dental Partners dentist now, you can plan carefully to make the most of this year's insurance benefits.

Update Your Toothbrush

Out with the old, in with the new!

You should be updating your toothbrush every four months, on average. But maybe it's been an unusually long winter. Getting a new toothbrush now will keep your mouth safe from a nasty buildup of bacteria. Not only this, but your toothbrush's bristles will start to fray after a few months of use. Splayed bristles are just not that good at removing plaque.

Take advantage of a fresh start this spring to update your toothbrush.

Try Whitening

Nothing boosts your morale like a bright smile! Get rid of those tell-tale stains from winter holiday feasting with some teeth whitening. Start with an at-home whitening rinse or go for the gold by asking your dentist about professional teeth bleaching.
