If you\u2019re one of them, consider making a New Year\u2019s smile resolution.<\/p>\n<p>What might a New Year\u2019s smile resolution involve?<\/p>\n<p>First, take a close look at your daily brushing and flossing regimen. Keeping your smile healthy means brushing twice a day, flossing at least once, and gargling with an anti-bacterial mouthwash at least once.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond regular brushing and flossing, an important part of New Year\u2019s smile resolution involves coming into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/\">Dr. Carmen\u2019s Norman dental office<\/a> for regular visits. When you come in for your January visit (or any other visit), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Carmen<\/a> will inspect your smile for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ dysfunction, bruxism, and oral cancer.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of comprehensive approach to dentistry lets <strong>Dr. Carmen<\/strong> provide preventive care that is more comfortable and conservative, benefiting the patient in every way.<\/p>\n<p>As more and more studies are showing, a direct link exists between a patient\u2019s overall health and the health of his or her smile. In particular, poor gum health has been shown to share a connection with diabetic complications, stroke, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, premature birth, and heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>To schedule your first visit of the year with <strong>Dr. Carmen<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbobbycarmen.com\/contact.html\">call our Norman office today<\/a>. We serve patients from <strong>The University of Oklahoma<\/strong>, <strong>Norman<\/strong>, <strong>Moore<\/strong>, <strong>Central Oklahoma<\/strong>, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re about a full week into 2012, but many people are still thinking about New Year\u2019s resolutions.
