April is National Oral Health Month

Visiting Lemont Family Dental regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is National Oral Health Month, Dr. Jennifer would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of regular dental visits and maintaining good oral hygiene.

As a dentist, Dr. Jennifer is specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health conditions or diseases. Please let us now if you have any questions about your oral health during your next appointment. We will also be running another electric toothbrush giveaway on our Facebook page in celebration of National Oral Health Month.  Our office would love to hear about what you're doing at home to maintain good oral health, or if you've had a memorable dental visit with Dr. Jennifer.
