Filed under: Other — Tags: , , , , , — atriumfamily @ 2:32 pm

The staff at Atrium Family dental recently attended the MGE Management Experts Benefit Dinner on May 30 in St. Petersburg, FL. We were joined by government officials, community leaders, and leading dental professionals to raise money to provide books for the Improving Youth Literacy Campaign in support of the Boys and Girls Clubs and Youth Programs across America.

We love getting involved with amazing and interesting causes and this one really touched our hearts because it increases literacy in children, something that is very important. It’s shocking to discover the literacy rates across the country and the millions of children and families it affects. If we can do just one little thing to help improve reading in children, we’re happy. After all, it helps to bond families, aids in educational learning, and is a great pastime for many.

What Exactly Is The Right Mouthwash For You?

May 30, 2013

Rinsing out your mouth with mouthwash is an important step to your dental hygiene regimen. The mouthwash aims to kill any leftover bacteria which may continue to develop into plaque or other dental problems. However, the ingredients of each mouthwash may vary. There are many different mouthwashes with different special functions depending as to how they were formulated. This is why there are mouthwashes that sting if you gargle too long, while others don’t. So what is the right mouthwash for you and what should you look out for? Here some pointers to remember.

If you find that using mouthwash is an unpleasant experience because of the stinging sensation when gargling and that nasty unpleasant taste, then be sure to stay away from mouthwash products with alcohol as one of their ingredients. Alcohol has negative effects in the mouth like drying out your mouth and killing your own cells apart from the bacteria and germs. Alcohol also has some correlation with oral cancer if you continually use this kind of mouthwash. There are many alcohol-free mouthwashes available and be sure to check for different flavours as well.
