March 6th is National Dentistโs Day! With this celebration comes the opportunity to remember the importance of our dental hygiene. Your oral health is closely related to your overall health and well-being. Whether itโs brushing and flossing or getting regular dental cleaning in Calgary, you can help celebrate National Dentistโs Day with the proper oral habits. Here are 5 ways you can help celebrate this occasion!
If you donโt already have a consistent oral health routine, nowโs the time to start one! You can have a shining smile for a lifetime in as little as a few minutes a day. And all it takes is a couple of simple practices:
Setting the intention to start a health regime is one thing, and following through is another. You must commit to your dental health; this means practicing these habits every day. It may be challenging at first, but hereโs the good news... The more you do it, the easier it becomes. What you find difficult today will become your new normal tomorrow.ย
Over time, your new dental habits will be so ingrained in your daily routine that you wonโt even have to think about them anymore.ย
Help spread awareness of the occasion! You never know who you may influence to start taking on healthier oral habits. You can talk to friends and family, or even make a social media post with the hashtag #NationalDentistDay.ย ย
To help commemorate National Dentistโs Day, try smiling more often! Not only will you brighten other peopleโs day, but youโll also feel better about yourself for spreading positivity to those around you. Aside from that, here are some additional compelling benefits to smiling more often:
Most dental experts agree that you should get an oral checkup at least once every 6 months. A biannual dental exam ensures your oral health is in excellent condition. Moreover, it can help spot issues such as minor cavities before they develop into bigger (and more expensive) problems.ย
