March 6 is National Dentist Day — a day to consider the impact that exceptional dental care has had on you and your family. You rely on your dentist for a strong, beautiful, and healthy smile, so here’s what you can do on this National Dentist Day.
Schedule Your Next Appointment
Keeping up with routine dental appointments is essential to your ongoing oral health. However, some people tend to let them fall by the wayside over time and don’t get the care they need. Prevention and early detection is our goal.
Now that you’ve got the dentist on your mind, make sure that you’ve scheduled your next routine appointment. Don’t hesitate to reach out about specific issues, either.
Talk to Your Kids About the Dentist
Visiting the dentist is vital, but it can leave some children worried and anxious. On National Dentist Day, take the time to talk to your young children about the importance of visiting the dentist.
You want your children to have a long future of good oral health, so building a strong foundation is essential. Make sure that your child is comfortable with their dentist by scheduling their periodic visits.
Take a Look at Your Oral Hygiene
The care you receive from your dentist helps support your oral health, but you also need to make sure that you follow their recommendations at home. This is a good opportunity to evaluate your oral hygiene habits and adjust them if needed.
If you aren’t sure about your oral hygiene routine, you can always ask your dentist and team for advice about brushing, flossing, and other aspects of oral health.
