SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29: TAKING CARE OF YOUR TEETH
Profile America - Saturday, October 29th. The focus this month is definitely on taking care of your teeth. For one thing, October is Dental Hygiene Month - stressing preventative oral health care, from using dental floss to proper brushing techniques. And earlier this month in Las Vegas, some 50,000 dentists gathered for the 152nd annual session of the American Dental Association. They took continuing education courses and viewed leading-edge dental technology and products. Helping us care for our teeth are 164,000 dentists and 137 dental hygienists, working in more than 98,000 offices across the country. Profile America is produced by the U.S. Census Bureau: Measuring America-People, Places, and Our Economy.
