October is National Dental Hygiene Month, making this a perfect time to talk about why your mouth matters when it comes to your total health. With over 35 years experience in the dental industry, as an independent dental hygienist practicing in Kittery, and as a passionate advocate for oral health in Maine and New Hampshire, I believe — and I know my fellow hygienists believe — that oral health is integral to one’s overall health, across all lifespans.
