Twohig Dentistry Welcomes 2018!

The start of a new year can evoke feelings of optimism and determination; t’s a chance to start anew and look to the future. On the other hand, you can easily feel overwhelmed and wonder how you’re actually going to squeeze in everything you want to get done. We know it doesn’t always help when you’ve been gone for a long holiday either. Well, not to worry! We’re sharing some of our favorite tips to stay organized this year.

There are three main things we really believe make all the difference. The first is setting realistic goals. That’s not to say you can’t dream big, but just make sure you’re thinking of things that are within your reach. Next up is prioritizing what is important to you. This will help keep you in check when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Lastly, write everything down. You’re more likely to remember something after you’ve put it on paper and it always feels great to check things off!

In regards to your dental health, we’d recommend setting aside time in your day to do your routine. Find a schedule that works best for you. It might not be what works best for everyone, but that’s okay. For example, you don’t have to brush your teeth right before bed if you know that by then you’ll be too exhausted to do a proper job. We also highly recommend limiting your sugar intake. An easy way to do this is by opting for water instead of soda and other sugary drinks.

Exercise is something else that can make you feel energized and ready for the week! By keeping your body active, you’re not only helping with your overall physical health, but with your mental health as well. It will help you relieve stress and stay on top of your to-do list. Meal prepping can also be a great addition to your lifestyle if you’re always on the go. Coming home and not having to worry about cooking can take more weight off your shoulders than you might think!

This year Dr. Twohig is resolving to spend more time outside and go on more hiking and camping trips.  She’s also looking forward to some of her book club selections, like Unexpected Bride in the Promised Land.

We hope you’re all having a happy and healthy start to the year. Don’t forget to pay us a visit so we can keep your smile as healthy as can be!
