March is a Special Month!
Dentists love the month of March. Why is this? March is a special month because March 6th is National Dentist’s Day! Learn some great facts about how dentists help us.
They Benefit Your Over-all Health
It's true, no one really likes going to the dentist. But if you really think about it, dentists truly benefit our overall health. Take for example a cavity. When the dentist alerts us to tooth decay, they are helping us to prevent more issues. According to Healthline, “Left untreated, an infection can spread to your jaw and other parts of your head and neck, including your brain. In rare cases, it can even lead to sepsis. This is a life-threatening complication of an infection.”
Show Your Appreciation
At your next visit, why not put a smile on our dentist's face? You can really give them something to smile about when you follow their helpful advice. This includes brushing twice per day for 2 minutes and flossing at least once. Then, next time you see them, show them how you have improved!
Fun Dental Facts
As you will find on Imagine Smiles’ website, here are a few fun dental facts:
- Tooth enamel is the hardest structure in the human body.
- Americans buy more than 14 million gallons of toothpaste every year.
- Tooth decay is the second most common disease, second only to the cold.
