February is Children’s Dental Health Month and American Heart Month—observances that help to remind us of conditions that can be reduced or prevented through education and healthy habits.
Children’s Dental Health Month
Cavities, or tooth decay, are one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing and learning. The good news is that cavities are preventable.
American Heart Month
Nearly 80% of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. Start with small steps today! Visit www.heart.org to learn how to "Live Fierce."
