March 6: National Dentist Day

March 6 is National Dentist Day, a day to celebrate the men and women who ensure that our jaws are healthy open, that our teeth grind and that our teeth are healthy. Dentists are doctors specializing in oral health. Their job is to prevent, diagnose and treat oral diseases, monitor the growth of our teeth and jaws, and perform surgical procedures on our teeth and mouth!

Dental health is an integral part of our overall health, which is why we salute them today, not only because they ensure that our teeth look beautiful, but also because they keep our body in tip-top shape.

How can patients celebrate this National Dentist Day?

Raise awareness among those around youe (teach your child a new song about brushing your teeth. Encourage your family and friends to visit the dentist), 4.
