Do you brush your tongue every day? The dentists and staff at King Dental recommend that you brush your tongue every day. Your tongue should be pink in color. If your tongue has a white coating on it, then it is time to go to work!
Brush your tongue with a soft toothbrush and water. Toothpaste is not necessary but some people prefer it. Brushing your tongue will remove the bacteria and small food particles that have collected on the surface of your tongue.
Wondering why you should brush your tongue?
1. Freshen your breath. Bacteria on the tongue can lead to bad breath.
2. Help prevent gum disease. The same bacteria that causes gum disease collects on your tongue. If you brush your teeth every day, floss daily and brush your tongue as well, you will help to fend off gum disease.
3. Helps your food taste better. The bumps on your tongue are your taste buds. If your taste buds are covered by a film of bacteria, you will not be able to taste as much.

Does your child need the required dental exam for the Fall 2021?
Illinois law (Child Health Examination Code, 77 Ill. Adm. Code 665) states all children in kindergarten and the second, sixth and ninth grades of any public, private or parochial school shall have a dental examination. The examination must have taken place within 18 months prior to May 15 of the school year. A licensed dentist must complete the examination, sign and date this Proof of School Dental Examination Form. This important examination will let you know if there are any dental problems that need attention by a dentist. Children need good oral health to speak with confidence, express themselves, be healthy and ready to learn. Poor oral health has been related to lower school performance, poor social relationships, and less success later in life.
King Dental in Bronzeville can help. We have new patient specials for kids that include the state-required dental form completed at no additional charge. Find our coupons here

If your gums bleed when you brush, it is time to call the dentist. Bleeding during brushing is not normal. Bleeding is often a sign of an infection.
Call King Dental for your dental exam and talk to our dental staff about ways you can improve the health of your gums and stop the bleeding.
