Fall into reading with The Smile Zone!

How better to spend the fall months than inside by the fireplace with a warm cup of cider and a book in hand? Dr. Jerome and Dr. Rob encourage you to warm up your mind this season with a few great books. Sure it may be easy to put off reading this time of the year, but reading is vital to brain development and improving your vocabulary. Besides, reading is fun!

This week, we thought we’d ask: What are YOU reading this fall? Do you have any suggestions for must-read books this year? Out of ideas for great fall reads? Ask us for suggestions, and Drs. Jerome and Rob and our staff would be happy to provide a few suggestions. You may also ask a local librarian for some ideas or check out these fall reading ideas that we came across today, courtesy of Amazon.

Happy reading! Be sure to share with us your fall picks or your all-time favorites on our Facebook page!

Cold and Flu Season is Here- It may be time to replace your toothbrush!

Fall is here, and with it the dreaded cold and flu season. After recovering from your cold, Dr. Rob and Dr. Jerome will tell you one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush!

Germs can linger on the bristles, and you risk prolonging your sickness by continuing to use the same toothbrush. Be smart - keep a spare, just in case! To protect your toothbrush from bacteria all year long, consider the following tips:

• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Worn bristles are less effective in properly cleaning your teeth, and can actually be damaging to teeth if used too long!

Hope this tip helps! Feel free to call us at The Smile Zone if you have any questions or ask us on Facebook.
