Oral health is the gateway to your overall health

Did you know your oral health affects your whole body? That’s right! Caring for your pearly whites lowers your risk of heart disease and other serious health issues. Plus, a healthy mouth means you’re pain-free from cavities and gum disease. Which also means you sleep better, stand taller, and feel confident in your smile.

World Oral Health Day is March 20!

Celebrate that smile with us all through March, and on World Oral Health Day on March 20, when groups around the world work to reduce suffering and promote good hygiene, knowledge and confidence to have good oral health.

Take the 2 X 2 pledge. Brush twice a day for 2 minutes each time.

Brush 2x2!

Brush to our Spotify playlist ! It’s easy to keep your smile healthy. Simply brush your teeth for two minutes, twice a day, every day.

Along with regular dental checkups, it’s the best way to fight cavities and maintain a bright and healthy smile.

Our Spotify playlists are full of fun 2-minute songs that kids and adults can groove to while you brush.
