The holiday season is here — and that means yummy food, family gatherings, and lots of smiles! 🦃 But did you know some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes can actually help keep your teeth healthy?
Here are 4 tasty foods that are good for both your body and your smile:
Crunchy Veggies
Carrots, celery, and broccoli aren’t just great side dishes — they help clean your teeth as you chew! Their crunchiness acts like a natural toothbrush, helping to scrub away plaque.
Cheese
Say “cheese!” 🧀 Not only does it make for a great photo, but cheese also helps strengthen tooth enamel and balance the acid levels in your mouth. That means fewer cavities.
Turkey
The star of the Thanksgiving table is packed with protein and phosphorus, two nutrients that help rebuild and protect tooth enamel. So go ahead — enjoy that turkey leg guilt-free!
Apples
Apples are sometimes called “nature’s toothbrush.” Their texture and fiber help clean your teeth and stimulate your gums, keeping your mouth feeling fresh after a big meal.
A Few Foods to Watch Out For
While sweet treats are part of the fun, sticky desserts and sugary drinks can linger on your teeth. Try rinsing your mouth with water after eating, or better yet — brush if you can!
Give Your Smile Something to Be Thankful For
As you enjoy the season of feasting and gratitude, remember that a healthy smile starts with healthy choices. At Falmouth Dental Arts, we’re here to help you keep your teeth strong and bright through every season.

October is a special month — it’s National Dental Hygiene Month! This is a time when we pause and say thank you to our amazing dental hygienists who bring care, kindness, and expertise to every patient visit.
At FDA, our hygienists do so much more than “just clean teeth.” They help us stay healthy, confident, and comfortable. They teach, listen, and support. This post is for them — and for you, our patients — because caring for your smile is a team effort.
What Is National Dental Hygiene Month?
- Every October, the dental world turns the spotlight on oral health, prevention, and the people behind the scenes — dental hygienists.
- The month is about raising awareness: better brushing, smarter habits, and the importance of routine care.
- It’s also about saying thanks. Hygienists often quietly carry out big work — and this month helps us celebrate them.
Why Dental Hygienists Matter
Here are some of the big ways hygienists make a difference:
- They remove plaque and tartar that your toothbrush and floss can’t reach.
- They screen for gum disease, cavities, and sometimes even signs of oral cancer.
- They teach good habits — how to brush, floss, and care for your gums at home.
- They’re part of the bigger health picture: good oral health is linked to things like heart health, diabetes, and respiratory wellness.
- They build trust. When a patient feels heard, safe, and cared for, prevention becomes easier.
Small Ways You Can Help Celebrate This Month
Let’s make this October extra special for our hygienists — and for your own oral health. Here are some ideas:
- Say “thank you.” Write a note, leave a card, or say something kind when you see your hygienist.
- Refer a friend or family member. Sharing oral health awareness helps more people benefit.
- Stick with the “Daily Four” (or your favorite habit set):
- Brush twice a day (for two full minutes)
- Floss daily
- Rinse with fluoride or antimicrobial mouthwash
- Chew sugar-free gum (if recommended)
These habits make your hygienist’s job easier and keep your smile strong.
4. Ask questions. Curious about an instrument or a new product? Hygienists love to teach.
To our FDA hygienists: Thank You. Thank you for your steady hands, warm hearts, and clear explanations. Thank you for catching trouble early, for coaching good habits, and for helping patients feel safe. Let’s make this October not just about awareness — let’s make it about appreciation.

Celebrating Sue: The Heart of Our Office
September is National Office Manager Appreciation Month, and here at Falmouth Dental Arts, we can’t let it pass without shining a spotlight on someone very special—Sue, our incredible office manager.

She plays a vital role in making sure everything runs smoothly. From managing day-to-day operations to supporting both patients and staff, Sue is truly the glue that holds the office together.
Thank You, Sue!
