October is National Dental Hygiene Month! This is the time of the year where we celebrate the work dental hygienists do, and we help raise awareness on the importance of good oral health.

World Smile Day is held annually on the first Friday in October. It is a day devoted to smiles and acts of kindness. First celebrated in 1999, World Smile Day seeks to reclaim the original meaning and intent of the iconic smiley face image by encouraging people to act kindly and make a person smile. Who can you make smile today??

When we think of the dentist, we typically picture someone making sure our teeth are clean. But did you know that your gums are just as important as your teeth when it comes to your oral health? Your gums protect the sensitive roots of your teeth from being exposed. If you don’t care for your gums properly, you could get gum disease, which results in all sorts of additional issues.

Fun fact: September is National Gum Care Month. Now here’s a not-so-fun fact: most people don’t take nearly as good care of their gums as they should. Gum disease will affect about half the adult population of the U.S. at some point. Fortunately, September is the perfect time to learn why your gums are so important and how to take care of them, so you don’t contract gum disease.
