October is National Dental Hygiene Month!

At Pediatric Dental Partners, we just can't believe September is already over. It's fall; the leaves are turning color, the weather is crisp and cool and this month, October, marks National Dental Hygiene Month, a time for Dr. Daniel Crawford, Dr. Lauren Wallace, Dr. Shannon Backofen and Dr. Susan Chidlow to raise awareness of the benefits of a healthy beautiful smile.

This year's theme is “Healthy Habits are Easier than You Think,” which focuses on prevention. At Pediatric Dental Partners, we know everyone is busy; living a life on-the-go is difficult for most people, but our staff is here to tell you keeping a healthy mouth shouldn’t be.

Your teeth are an important part of your body, and keeping them clean helps keep your mouth and your body healthy. By taking care of your teeth, eating a balanced diet, and visiting our convenient Shreveport and Bossier City offices on a regular basis, you can have healthy teeth and an attractive smile throughout your entire life.

We encourage you to check out the ADHA's National Dental Hygiene Month website, which provides pointers on keeping your mouth clean and healthy. Lastly, has it been six months since your last visit to Pediatric Dental Partners? If the answer is yes, we encourage you to give us a call to set up an appointment.
