February is for taking care of your mouth too!

This Oral Health Month, learn about mouth sores and how to better care for your mouth

Everybody knows that February is the month of love, but did you know that it’s also Oral Health Month? Starting out as National Dental Health Week back in 1951 and expanding into a month-long celebration by 2004, Oral Health Month’s goal is to encourage the public to take care of their oral health, as well as urge those in the dental services sector to reach out to communities with limited access to dental care.

This year is a little different. Because of the pandemic, many individuals are not able to visit their dentist as regularly as before. That is why this year’s Oral Health Month theme is “Brushing is a Must, Kahit Naka-Mask”, to reiterate the importance of oral health, especially during a time when face-to-face dental services and check-ups are difficult to avail.
