February has some pretty well-known holidays, such as Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day. Did you know there is another day that we should all be celebrating on February 9th? It is National Toothache Day! We all know that toothaches are no fun, so you may be wondering why we would celebrate this day.
We can’t believe that the holidays are behind us and we are officially in 2023! We hope that you were able to reconnect with family and friends during the holiday season.

Along with Halloween and other fun fall activities that we celebrate during the month of October, we have another reason to celebrate — honoring dental health! This is a reminder to evaluate the way you care for your oral health not only during this month, but each and every day. Maintaining proper oral health throughout the year can help prevent dental emergencies and the need for additional treatments.
