The staff at Martin Family & Cosmetic Dentistry wishes you a Happy National Hygiene Month (NDHM)! The importance of National Dental Hygiene Month is to promote good oral health maintenance to the public. This year, NDHM is centered around the four components of good oral health maintenance.

The Four Components of Good Oral Health Maintenance:

• Brush teeth twice daily- Always brush two minutes, two times a day.
• Floss everyday- Ensure flossing is a daily habit. You could try “text2floss.com” if you have trouble remembering.
• Rinse with mouthwash- Use mouthwash to improve oral health
• Chew Sugar-Free gum- Chewing sugar-free gum after eating can help fight tooth decay.
