Back to School - How to Get an A+ in Oral Health
A Healthy Mouth for You AND Your Children
Taking care of your teeth at home by brushing and flossing, going to the dentist regularly, eating healthy are all great ways to get an A+ in oral health.
 
If you have children, it is so important to make sure they have a regular dentist who can help them grow up with a healthy set of pearly whites.
 
The same goes for older adults. While your teeth may not be as perfect as you would like, keeping your mouth healthy and ongoing dental care are key for your oral health as well as your overall health too!

See if you can get an A+ on our 7-question oral health quiz.
