National Family Health Month
Family Health
Month focuses on several different aspects of ways to keep you and your family
healthy. October is National Family Health Month, sponsored by the American
Academy of Family Physicians and doctors around the country. All doctors,
including dentists like Dr. Michael Folck, are using October and National
Family Health Month to encourage their patients to pay attention to their
general health.
This means
proper nutrition, physical fitness, and stress and mental health should all be
examined. It’s also a time to remember that major illnesses, all of them
leading causes of death in this country, are preventable. Heart attacks,
stroke, cancer, lung disease, and various injuries don’t have to happen.
Oral Health and General Wellness
Dr. Folck
cares deeply about the health of his patients. Eating correctly provides
nutrition your body needs. This includes your teeth and gums. Eating a variety
of fruits, vegetables, and nuts is the best thing you can do for your health.
Many of these have vitamins that keep your gums and teeth healthy and strong.
Telling
people to avoid tobacco and drink alcohol in moderation may seem like a tired
old song by this point, but it cannot be overemphasized that both of these can
destroy your smile. Oral cancer,
receding gums, and missing teeth are all things to worry about when using
tobacco and alcohol.
If you have
not had a dentist appointment in some time, maybe October, a month to celebrate
National Family Health is a good time to make one.
