February is Heart Month. We encourage you to check out our fact sheet that explains how oral health affects heart health. Daily brushing, flossing, and rinsing help prevent harmful bacteria from growing. These bacteria can cause gum disease and enter your bloodstream, where they may affect your heart and increase the risk of serious conditions.
Be sure to download and print this resource in either English or French.
Let’s put our hearts front and center this February!
