Flat Stanley Goes to the Dentist

Today was a beautiful day and the very first day of Fall! My favorite season! I learned that Fall is Stanley's second favorite season, his favorite is Summer.  He claims its the least windy in the Summer, and he doesn't fly away in the wind. So, naturally he enjoys being outside the most during the summer because he is the least stressed out.  This afternoon Stanley and I had dentist appointments in Vestavia with Dr. Davis. We went for a regular teeth cleaning visit, and neither of us had any cavities! We were very proud of each other.

Going to the dentist is very important for your health. You should go to the dentist at least every six months. It is also important to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. Flossing helps keep food and plaque from getting trapped between your teeth and helps prevent cavities. A cavity is a decaying part of the tooth, and are caused from plaque build up. You are also more susceptible to getting a cavity if you eat lots of sugary foods and drinks. Stanley has quite the sweet tooth, so this is especially difficult for him. Remember and practice these oral health tips, and you will have a beautiful smile for years!
