Upcoming Event: Free Dental Screenings & Oral Health Education (Detroit) - Sat 2/8/14 @ 10AM - 2PM

(via MSU Extension, Winning Smiles, & Jessica Cotton)

SAVE YOUR TEETH (and your kids, too)!

Too many people take their teeth for granted, until they lose them or they hurt so badly they can't use them anymore (without spending a lot of money and feeling a lot of pain).

It all starts with simple habits, but they're important.  Learn what's important so you can keep smiling...and be proud of your smile.  Teach your kids while they're young!
