April is Oral Health Month.

April is Oral Health Month.

Everyone desires to lead a healthy life, wherein good oral health plays an important role and implies that gums, oral mucosal tissues, and teeth are undamaged and free of disease. Teeth play an important role in nutrition and health because a healthy body equals healthy teeth. :))

Did you know that your oral health offers clues about your overall health — or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body? It’s why oral health is so very important.

The importance of good oral health is reflected in the fact that last month, the Government of Canada announced a commitment to a national dental care program for Canadians.

Also, contact your dentist as soon as an oral health problem arises. Taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health.

So, take care of those teeth and gums! Brush twice a day, and floss often. Take time out to thank your dentist in your next appointment, thanking the oral health team for what they do for your health.
