NATIONAL SMILE MONTH
WHY NOT KICK OFF NATIONAL SMILE MONTH BY READING UP ON SOME GOOD TIPS TO KEEP YOUR SMILE HEALTHY AND READING UP ON HOW NATIONAL SMILE MONTH CAME ABOUT.
TIPS FOR THAT HEALTHY SMILE:
- Visit your dentist provider regularly, as often as recommended.
- Brush your teeth at least once during the day, in addition to brushing your teeth right before bedtime with a tooth paste that has fluoride in it.
- Floss all your teeth to get into the nooks and crannies that tooth brush can’t reach.
- Cut down on how often you consume sugary foods and drinks.
- Change your tooth every two to three months unless it gets worn sooner, as it won’t clean your teeth properly.
