Here’s a Reason to Make Your Dentist Smile: It’s National Dentist’s Day!

February 24, 2022

March 6^th is Annual National Dentist’s Day. It’s an opportunity to show appreciation to your dentist who keeps your smile healthy, fills your cavities, fixes a broken tooth, and heals a toothache.

National Dentist’s Day is also a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of dental hygiene. One of the things many dentists frequently discuss is how they wish their patients understood oral health is not separate from overall health.

Dentists can not only keep your mouth healthy, but your whole body. Regular dental check-ups can do far more than just clean your teeth and check for cavities. Your dentist may also help detect early signs of diseases like diabetes, leukemia, and oral cancer before you even notice symptoms.

And anyone who can help us live longer and healthier deserve a special day they can call their own.
