October is National Dental Hygiene Month! This month is all about bringing awareness to the importance of good oral health and hygiene.
The goal of this month is to raise awareness of habits that promote a healthy smile and educate patients on “The Daily 4” in hopes that this set of guidelines will become positive personal habits that last a lifetime. There are no big surprises, other than the sometimes unexpected connection between healthy gums, a healthy heart, and diabetes.
So what exactly is the “Daily 4”?
When in doubt, remember the adage found posted at countless dental clinics: “You don’t have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.”
Along with making the “Daily 4” part of your everyday routine, it is important to remember to see us at the office twice a year for cleanings and check ups! Call us or send us an email by clicking below to make an appointment to see one of our amazing dental hygienists today!
