Three cheers for our Registered Dental Hygienists! The American Dental Hygienists' Association partnered with Wrigley for the first observance of October as National Dental Hygiene Month in 2009. They sought to bring awareness to the importance of oral health by spreading the message that good oral health is linked to whole body health. This month also celebrates the hard-working Dental Hygienists who are dedicated to improving the oral health of each patient they see. Now more than ever before, the care and support provided by our Dental Hygienists helps patients safely access the dental services they need for good oral health for life.
