Dental Hygiene Month

Dental Hygiene Month

Dr. Nardone visited students in the 3rd to 6th grade to talk about oral hygiene. She reminded them about the importance of teeth and how to best take care of them. A fun, informative and interactive slide show presentation demonstrated how to best take care of teeth including brushing, flossing, proper diet and using protective gear when playing sports.

Speaking of sports, Dr. Nardone emphasized the potential damage sports drinks (along with sodas and juices) have on teeth due to high sugar and acidic content; water is still the best way to keep hydrated.

Dr. Nardone took student questions about oral hygiene and ways to ensure the logevity and preservation of your teeth! Students learned about dental products and supports to maintain clean teeth everyday in every way! Students learned to:

1. Brush your teeth for two minutes, last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, using fluoride toothpaste.
2. Use a toothbrush with a small- to medium-sized head.

Thank you Dr. Nardone for teaching us about our teeth and how to take care of them!
