Most people take their teeth for granted, forgetting how hard their mouth needs to work every day. Your teeth are remarkable, allowing you to eat, smile and speak with confidence. World Oral Health Day on March 20 is an excellent opportunity to pause for a moment and think about your dental health, and if it could use some improvement. From our point of view, March is a time when we want to inspire our patients to care more for their mouth.

Without the right oral care, there is a risk you will develop dental problems and worse, these issues could even affect overall health. The good news is that with a good oral care regime, you can avoid harmful dental diseases like tooth decay and especially gum disease. Your teeth are meant to last for life, but they can only do so if you care for them correctly. A proper preventative dental care plan is simple and easy, as it will only take ten minutes or so to brush your teeth at least twice daily and to floss once a day. When combined with regular checkups and cleanings here at Citra Dental, it will ensure you can smile confidently on Oral Health Day and beyond.
