NATIONAL SURVEY: GOOD ORAL HEALTH OUTPERFORMS CLEAR SKIN FOR MAKING ADULTS FEEL CONFIDENT
Confidence can affect many aspects of an adult's life, spanning successful relationships, career, and earning potential. According to a recent national survey from Delta Dental, Americans relate success with smiling often. More than half of adults (53%) say their smile has a bearing on their overall success. The majority of adults (70%) say a smile can make or break a first impression.

In addition to a smile, what makes Americans feel confident as they take on the day? Delta Dental's Adult Oral Health & Well-Being Survey indicates that good oral health (67%) makes the majority of Americans feel confident, surpassing other top reasons of clear skin (60%) and being in shape (57%). 

The full "Adult Oral Heath & Well-Being Survey" report will be released later this year.

BEST FOODS FOR HEALTHY SUMMER SMILES
Summer is a pretty sweet time to be a Coloradan. From barbecues, farmer's markets, and local cuisine, we've got it all. But before you begin indulging, it's important to remember the food we eat can have a big impact on our teeth.

In several studies, nutrients in fruits and vegetables such as dietary fiber, potassium, and antioxidants have been associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and many cancers, including oral cancer.  

We've created this flyer for you to download and share with your employees to encourage them to keep healthy food choices top of mind while enjoying all the delicious treats summer has to offer.
