With all the special holiday months --- we just got another one named in 2019---May was also designated as National Dental Health Month. It's also National Strawberry Month, National Mental Health Month and National Military Appreciation Month. All things we love to talk about. Have you tried any local strawberries yet?
Of course, our favorite topic is National Dental Health Month! At Stefano Dental, your oral health is what keeps us going and educated on the latest procedures and technologies.
Many people ask me why I got into dentistry? I always knew I wanted to be a physician of some kind. And toward the end of my undergraduate program which was in zoology...yes, zoology! I love animals too, have you met my two dogs, Josie and Maggie?
Toward the end of that program, I was leaning toward dental school...and got accepted into the THE Ohio State University Dental School. Go Bucks!
What I didn't realize then, was that smiles would be why I love dentistry! Who knew the power of a healthy smile back in my 20s. As I age, I see how a healthy smile can create confidence, self-esteem and positive feelings in a patient.
Could you say a healthy smile helps with your emotional well-being? I think so. Smiling helps no matter what, but when you smile AND feel good about yourself, you're creating a whole other dynamic.
So maybe it's a perfect pair to join National Dental Health Month and National Mental Health Month. Smiles are contagious and smiles help us spread positive vibes inside and out.
I'm grateful to be a part of that chemistry!
Keep on smiling!
