During the month of May, National Dental Care Month takes time to remind us of the importance of caring for our pearly whites. Thaddeus P.Hyatt promoted preventative dental care in the early 1900s.
Today, oral hygiene is learned at an early age. Brush twice a day, floss, keep the sugary snacks to a minimum and see your dentist twice a year. That’s what we learn. Beyond childhood, it seems, we forget all we have learned.
A healthy smile requires continued healthy habits. Maintaining those habits reduces the risks of cavities and infection and the costs associated with long-term dental repairs. If it’s been a while since your last visit, understand that dentists today appreciate your fears.
They will do everything they can to alleviate your anxiety and get your smile back on track
National Dental Care Month brings awareness just in time for a summer full of family reunions, weddings, and vacations – all times when we love to take pictures and smile! So, brush up on your dental care and check up with your dentist.
