October is Oral Health Month
A message from Aetna: Your oral health matters more than you think. By having good oral care habits, you can ward off cavities and avoid bad breath. It can help you keep your smile looking beautiful and bright. Studies show that taking good care of your teeth and gums may lead to better overall health. This means what goes on in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. And what goes on in your body can also affect your mouth.
Find oral health tips on the LBUSD Benefits Facebook and Instagram pages!
