In this episode of the Black Health 365 podcast, Jackie and Britt recognize October as National Dental Hygiene Month. They are joined by guest Dr. Tontra Lowe, D.D.S., who shares valuable insights into the importance of adopting good dental hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Dr. Lowe also emphasizes the negative consequences of neglecting oral care and highlights the positive effects of proper dental care. Maintaining good dental hygiene is extremely important since oral health can impact other parts of the body. By sharing oral health recommendations with our community, Jackie, and Britt hope to promote long-term oral health and beautiful smiles.
