National Dental Hygiene Month: Your smile, your health and your confidence
G.E.H.A Solutions | October 16, 2025
The importance of oral health for lifelong wellness
October is National Dental Hygiene Month, a time to recognize the essential role dental hygienists play in keeping our smiles healthy and bright. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the connection between oral health and overall well-being.
At G.E.H.A Solutions, we believe that a healthy smile is more than cosmetic. Good dental health supports your entire body, impacts your well-being throughout your life and boosts your confidence when you speak.
Research continues to establish strong links between oral health and conditions like cardiovascular disease. Brushing, flossing and regular dental visits can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay and even reduce risks for serious health issues.
In fact, a recent study found that frequent toothbrushing was associated with a lower estimated 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. For these reasons and more, a daily dental routine is important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Dental Hygiene Month is a powerful reminder of the profound impact oral health has on our lives. Every small step you take to improve your dental habits not only contributes to a brighter smile, but also supports your overall health. Let's honor the dental hygiene professionals who make it all possible and the smiles that reflect their dedication.
