This coming Monday, July 4th, is Independence Day and the United States of America will be turning 235 years old! It’s a day to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and also a time for every American to pay homage to our soldiers, past and present, who have placed themselves in harm’s way so that we may continue to enjoy our freedom.
Dr. Hudis and team will be celebrating this Monday and we would like to know, what are your plans for the 4th of July? Will you be out in the sun? Have you stocked up on fireworks? Are you going to grill up your favorite summer foods? Are you staying in town or heading somewhere else? If you have a 4th of July tradition, we would love to hear about it.
Whatever you plan to do, we hope you have a fun and safe holiday! Feel free to upload your 4th of July photos to our Facebook page and let us know how your Independence Day turned out this year.

Don't put off your next visit any longer! Oral health issues such as periodontal disease have been increasingly linked to heart disease. Since most patients are not regularly visiting a heart specialist, their regular visits to our office can help detect early warning signs of heart issues or disease. If you're new to the topic, we invite you to examine a recent article that discusses the link between oral health and heart health, as well as the latest findings that suggest the value of dental checkups for early detection. Check it out, and be sure to let us know your thoughts!
Additionally, if its been more than 6 months since your last visit, give us a call!

We hope you are not a part of the 51 percent of Americans who don’t floss every day. And we definitely hope you're not part of the 10 percent who never floss at all. Dr. Hudis and team will always tell you that proper flossing is just as important for your dental health as brushing regularly. Flossing, you see, cleans food and plaque that builds up between teeth and below the gumline, key areas that brushing simply cannot reach.
Flossing 3-to-5 minutes each day is recommended, but even 60 seconds of flossing has a great benefit over not flossing at all. Also, make sure to always brush your teeth after you floss, and to rinse with water or mouthwash. When you begin flossing you may experience gum pain or bleeding, but with daily flossing and brushing this should stop within a week or so.
Lastly, has it been at least six months since your last checkup with Dr. Hudis? If the answer is yes, we encourage you to schedule an appointment!

According to the American Dental Association, a person’s smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature, which is why it’s important for our team at Princeton Restorative & Implant Dentistry to support National Smile Month this June.
Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:
* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
* Floss every day to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your treatment with Dr. Hudis.
* Visit us regularly (usually every six months apart).
If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call.
