Dental Topics: Prevention Through Education

The field of dentistry has benefitted greatly from the advancements in materials and technologies to help promote good oral health. Yet as a dentist myself, I've seen that my profession has embraced these new technologies at the risk of spending less time promoting "prevention through education." The truth is the healthiest mouths are not the mouths of the wealthiest people, but rather the mouths of educated people. This blog is my effort to educate the public and promote good oral health.

Congratulations to Our Winners

We here at Avalon Dental would like to thank all the wonderful participants from the First Colony Montessori for taking part in the Avalon Dental Coloring Contest. We had no idea we had so many young artists in our community. Unfortunately, we couldn't award the two grand prizes to every deserving participant. But if your child would like to participate in our next coloring contest, please feel free to contact our office manager Michelle at 281-240-5559 for details on our next contest or visit us on the web at www.thesugarlanddentist.com.

So without further ado, we would like to congratulate the two Grand Prize winners, each of which received a $50 Gift Certificate to Toys 'R Us.

And the winners are...

Avery

First Colony Montessori: Oral Hygiene Day

Once again the Avalon Dental Team visited with the future of our community to help educate the importance of good oral hygiene and nutrition at First Colony Montessori. Lead by our hygienist Nguyet, office manager Michelle, and lead assistant Leslie, we helped the youngest members of our community learn about taking care of not only their teeth and gums, but also their bodies through good hygiene and nutrition.



Our team at Avalon Dental takes particular joy from meeting the community and educating everyone on good oral health. Although we are here to treat the various oral diseases, such as cavities and gum disease, we understand our value to our community lies in education to promote prevention.

During our trip to First Colony Montessori, we taught proper brushing and flossing techniques, components of a healthy diet, and what to expect a dental check-up.



We also invited the students to participate in our semi-annual coloring contest.

We would like to thank the wonderful team of teachers and administrators at First Colony Montessori for inviting us an accommodating us for this visit. To contact the school for enrollment please contact them via phone at:
