					    For many of us, November is a month of change as we prepare for the approaching winter season. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it's the perfect time to slow down before the holiday rush, enjoy the changing season, and take a moment to check in on your oral health too!
   November is TMJ Awareness Month, highlighting jaw pain and teeth grinding (bruxism) issues that affect millions of people worldwide, often without them realizing the cause. Read this month's article to learn more about TMJ disorders and bruxism, and how you can protect your smile and increase jaw comfort. 
  A Friendly Reminder: Use It or Lose It! 
  With the year coming to an end, dental benefits based on the calendar year reset on January 1st. Take advantage of your plan by scheduling a checkup, cleaning or other dental care you've been postponing. If you're planning more extensive treatment, speak with us about options to make the most of your benefits before year's end. 
  Here's to a happy, healthy season for you and your smile!
