November: National Lung Cancer Awareness Month



Did you November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month?  The leading cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes.  Smoking is also probably one of the worst things you can do for your oral health also.  Cigarettes cause a lot of damage to your teeth, gums, and your overall health.  Click HERE to learn about lung cancer and some programs the American Lung Association has to help smokers quit.

There are a lot of things we can help you with here at Green Family Dental that can help you preserve your teeth (although quitting really is the best thing you can do).  People who smoke a lot usually have a lot of problems with periodontal disease.  Our new hygienist, Yoli, can educate you on things you can do to take care of your teeth and prevent a lot of problems cause by periodontal disease.  We also offer treatment for periodontal disease here in our office.  Call us at 778-4681 for more information.
