April is national Oral Health Month in Canada. As the federal government’s Dental Care Plan is rolled out, this is a great time to reflect the positive impact good oral health has on all aspects of our lives—particularly for seniors, children, and other vulnerable populations. An important part of Oral Health Month is National Dental Hygienists Week which runs from April 4-10, sponsored by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association.

The dignity of seniors and LTC residents is top-of-mind for dental hygienists who see first-hand the oral health-related concerns and illnesses that others may not recognize.
