Prioritizing Your Smile for Overall Well-Being
April is Oral Health Month, a time to highlight the importance of good oral hygiene and its connection to overall health. Taking care of your teeth and gums does more than keep your smile bright, it can help prevent serious health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Regular dental visits are essential for keeping your mouth healthy. Dentists are trained to detect early signs of serious health issues that may go unnoticed. By practicing consistent oral care, such as brushing and flossing, individuals can reduce the risk of these health issues and improve overall well-being.
The NDEB sets the national standard for general dentistry in Canada. Through its examinations, the NDEB confirms dentists entering practice are qualified to provide care to Canadians.
