From Your Trusted Brandon and Jackson, MS Dentist – The Germany Dental
As we head into the busy summer season, May is the perfect time to hit pause and check in on your dental health. At The Germany Dental, we’re celebrating National Dental Care Awareness Month by encouraging families throughout Brandon, Jackson, Pearl, Madison, Clinton, Ridgeland, Florence, and Byram to take care of their smiles before vacations and school breaks begin.
Whether you’ve been putting off a cleaning or suspect you might have a cavity, now’s the time to act. Preventive care today helps avoid bigger issues (and bills) later.
Why Dental Care Awareness Month Matters
Did you know that nearly one in four adults has untreated tooth decay, and almost half of adults over 30 show signs of gum disease? Many of these issues are entirely preventable with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
That’s why National Dental Care Awareness Month is so important—it shines a light on how critical routine care is for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. And for residents of Jackson, MS and the surrounding counties, The Germany Dental is here to make it convenient, affordable, and stress-free.
What Does Preventive Dental Care Include?
Preventive care goes beyond brushing and flossing. At The Germany Dental, we recommend:
- Professional cleanings and exams every 6 months
- X-rays to detect problems you can’t see or feel
- Fluoride treatments for added protection
- Sealants for kids and cavity-prone adults
- Gum health evaluations to prevent periodontal disease
- Oral cancer screenings (every exam includes one!)
These regular visits help us catch small issues before they become costly or painful—and they help you keep your natural teeth healthy for life.
Make Dental Appointments Before Summer Gets Busy
May is the perfect time to book your family’s dental appointments. With school winding down and summer travel around the corner, getting on the schedule now means:
- Avoiding last-minute scheduling conflicts
- Taking care of cleanings before summer snacks and drinks do damage
- Getting your kids ready for summer camps or school transitions
- Ensuring you’re pain-free and confident before vacations or big events
We welcome patients from Brandon, Jackson, Pearl, Madison, Ridgeland, Clinton, Florence, and Byram, and we’re happy to see the whole family in one visit.
Healthy Habits for a Healthy Smile
In addition to routine visits, here are a few reminders to help protect your teeth year-round:
✅ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✅ Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
✅ Limit sugary snacks and drinks, especially sodas and juices
✅ Drink more water—it helps rinse away bacteria
✅ Wear a mouthguard if playing sports
✅ Replace your toothbrush every 3 months or after illness
Small changes in your daily habits can lead to long-term benefits—and our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
