3 Ways to Improve Your Mental Health Now
In today’s world, a great deal of emphasis is placed on keeping our bodies healthy and active—and for good reason. A healthy body often means a healthy life… but there’s one other thing that shouldn’t be left out of the mix: Your mind!
Just as we eat well and exercise to stay in peak performance mode, our mental health needs special attention to thrive.
Want to improve your mental health? Give these easy-to-implement ideas a try.
1. Express your appreciation toward others. This can lead to building healthy relationships.
2. Limit your time spent on social media. You can even set alarms and change your phone settings to make sure you stick to your self-imposed limits.
3. While it’s important to put others first, don’t do so at the expense of your own well-being. Secure yourself first before doing the same for others.
All About Baby Teeth
While we only have them for a short amount of time, baby teeth play an incredibly important role in our overall oral health for years after we’ve lost them. Here are a few reasons they’re so important!
• Without baby teeth, it would be hard for children to learn to speak properly.
• When baby teeth erupt, they act as placeholders for older adult teeth that will come in later in life. Without them, we might see much more overcrowding.
• Because baby teeth help facilitate healthy chewing, they actually strengthen jaw and facial muscles early on.
Have a child who is teething? Schedule a visit with our practice if we haven’t seen them for a checkup yet to make sure everything is erupting wonderfully. We can’t wait to see them (and you) in the practice soon.
