National Dental Hygiene Month

Did you know we also celebrate National Dental Hygiene in October as well?
Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. This is the most important step to keeping your healthy smile.

Flossing removes plaque and excess food that brushing cannot reach. Be sure to floss under the gum line and between your teeth.

Rinsing your mouth each day is another important step in preventing the gum disease known as gingivitis.

Visit American Dental Hygienists Association for more information.

Here are some fun ideas to do at home with your little ones: Healthy Teeth Maze, Dental Health Tic Tac Toe, Color by Number, Dental Health Dominoes, and Tooth Brushing Chart.

"Got My Toothpaste" (sung to: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Got my toothpaste, got my brush,
I won't hurry, I won't rush.
Making sure my teeth are clean,
Front and back and in between.
When I brush for quite a while,
I will have a happy smile!
