Your physical health is just as important as your mental health! This month we are sharing healthy habits to encourage a healthier lifestyle for you and your family!

1. Get outside! A little summer sunshine can go a long way. Chances are you’ve spent the winter tucked away and Vitamin D deprived. Take a family walk or bike ride in the evening, visit a new park or trail, walk the dog daily, and be sure to take in the sunshine and fresh air.

2. Try a healthy new recipe. Pick a night to cook a healthy meal with your family. This is a great way to spend quality time together while still being productive. This is also an opportunity to teach children the importance of a balanced diet and trying new foods.

3. Practice mindfulness. This is an opportunity to help your children understand the importance of mental health. Simply reflect on the day you’ve had or situations which have left your little ones with certain emotions. Help them discover “why” they feel the emotions they do. Also, try a five minute meditation or positive affirmations. Encourage your children to highlight their favorite things about themselves to promote self esteem!

4. Find a self care routine. Help your loved ones find a way they love to care for themselves, this could be taking time for a skin care routine, workout routine, an oral care routine, or nighttime cooldown routine. This is time for you all to relax yet still be productive towards your health.

5. Practice oral health! A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body. Teaching your kids healthy oral habits at a young age can help ensure a beautiful, life lasting smile. Brush, floss, rinse, visit Dr. Frankel and repeat!
6. Connect with one another. Good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing. It never hurts to remind your family how much they mean to you and the impact they’ve made on your life.

 One.

Your Health

Crooked teeth are a challenge to keep clean. Problems with tooth brushing and flossing may lead to decay and gum disease. A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body.

Two.

Your Attitude.

The way your teeth bite together can cause a number of issues.  Jaw pain, headaches, even sinus complications have been related to dental occlusion. Chronic pain and a less than cheery mien are unfortunately often paired.  A lousy attitude might literally bite.

Three.

Your Smile.

A smile begets a smile. Hiding crooked teeth is sometimes just the beginning. Misaligned teeth often lead to receding gums and loss of tooth structure at the gum line, decreasing the likelihood of welcoming the world with a smile.

“Earlier this year I had all four wisdom teeth taken out at the same time. The staff at Jon Frankel Dentistry were amazing! Not only did they make me feel comfortable, but they also did it with professionalism and much-needed humor. They called me at home to monitor my brief recovery and I was so appreciative. My next step to a beautiful smile is getting fitted for Invisalign Clear Braces. I can’t wait to begin my journey. I encourage you to do the same by making an appointment at Jon Frankel Dentistry, you’ll be so happy that you made that first step!” – Rhonda B. Sewell, Media Relations
