National Children's Dental Health Month
February 2013
This year the ADA has themed the NCDHM as "Get a Gold Medal Smile." Ever February we reach out to the children and youth in our practice encouraging them with their dental health. Its very important to develop good oral hygiene habits at a young age, to prevent decay and gum diseases. To get a "Gold Medal Smile" you must practice 2x2, brush 2 times a day for 2 minutes each, floss, eat health snack, and limit your sugar intake.
Send us a photo of your childs "Gold Medal Smile" for a chance to win a Sonicare for Kids toothbrush!

Last but not least ...those with fur babies!
We may not be able to clean your pets teeth in our office be we certainly love our pets here at SmileCharlotte! February is also National Pet Dental Health Month. Fluffy and Muffins bad breath maybe more then just pet breath, just like their owners pets are also prone to gum disease and cavities. Both are fully preventible with home care and regular visits to your local veterinarian.
