Art & Science Family Dentistry Celebrates Dental Hygiene Month with a Commitment to Community Education

Woodbury, MN – October 2023 – As pumpkin spice lattes mark the season and Halloween preparations are in full swing, there’s another significant reason to mark October on the calendar: Dental Hygiene Month. Art & Science Family Dentistry, a leading dental practice in Woodbury, Minnesota, is taking this month as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy smile.

“Dental Hygiene Month provides the perfect platform to reiterate the essence of regular dental check-ups, optimal oral care routines, and the broader implications of dental health on overall well-being,” said Dr. Renee Kinney, of Art & Science Family Dentistry.

Highlighting the Importance of Dental Hygiene

The practice is keen on diving deep into the roots of Dental Hygiene Month, which began as an initiative to underscore the crucial role dental health plays in our lives. With potential complications such as gum disease, tooth loss, and even broader health concerns like heart disease stemming from poor dental hygiene, the importance of this month cannot be understated.

Art & Science Family Dentistry is amplifying three primary pillars during this month:

The Connection to Overall Health: With various studies accentuating the tie between oral and systemic health, conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been found to have links to dental health.

Proactive Care: Emphasizing that prevention isn’t just better, but also more economical than treatment. Early detection can prevent potential problems from escalating.

The Confidence of a Clean Smile: The psychological benefits of a bright, healthy smile play a vital role in social interactions and self-perception.

A Fusion of Art and Science

Staying true to their name, Art & Science Family Dentistry combines the precision of science with the aesthetics of art. "Every individual's dental needs are unique, and we pride ourselves in offering tailored solutions," said Dr. Kinney. The practice is at the forefront of employing innovative procedures, and continuously updating their equipment and techniques.

Empowering the Community

This Dental Hygiene Month, Art & Science Family Dentistry is not only offering its top-tier services but also focusing on community education with a new blog post. Tips for maintaining dental hygiene, from the basics of brushing and flossing to more complex topics like the risks associated with tobacco and vaping, are being shared extensively.

Join the Celebration

Art & Science Family Dentistry is inviting their Woodbury community to participate actively in Dental Hygiene Month. "Every step, whether it’s a renewed commitment to daily dental care or cutting down on sugary beverages, contributes to a healthier smile," continues Dr. Kinney.

In the spirit of this month, the practice encourages locals to book their dental check-ups and cleanings. “A smile speaks even before we do. Let’s ensure it conveys health, confidence, and care,” they added.
