June is National Oral Health Month- A Healthy Smile Goes A Long Way!

🦷 A healthy mouth = A healthier body ❤️ Your health starts with your smile—don’t wait until it hurts to see a dentist!

💙 Protect your health with 3 simple habits:
• Brush twice daily
• Floss every day
• Visit your dentist regularly

💡Why it matters:
• Healthy gums may help support blood sugar control
• Dental care during pregnancy is safe—just let your dentist know you're expecting
• Regular cleanings remove harmful bacteria that can affect oral and heart health

📌 Medi-Cal dental benefits include:
• 2 free check-ups per year for kids under 21
• 1 free check-up per year for adults

😁 Visit your dentist or SmileCalifornia.org/Care to find one and learn more.

🪥 Follow us this month for more oral health tips!
