Celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month this October! For the fifth consecutive year, the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company are partnering to help raise awareness and promote good oral health.
Therefore we are taking the time to stress the importance of teaching your children proper dental hygiene techniques starting with brushing, flossing, and rinsing:
Brush - Always brush two minutes, two times a day - EVERY day!
Research shows this is the single most important method for reducing plaque and related diseases as well as cavities and gingivitis.
Floss - Daily
Flossing daily removes plaque and food particles that hide in the hard to reach places of the mouth.
Rinse - With mouthwash!
While brushing and flossing eliminates a decent amount of plaque and germs - your teeth only account for less than half of your mouth! Finish your oral care routine with an antiseptic mouthwash that carries the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
Remember, it is vital to teach your children proper dental hygiene at a young age. This way they can continue to practice proper techniques and show off a healthy smile as they grow! Join us in celebrating National Dental Hygiene Month, give us a call to schedule an appointment today.
