October is National Dental Hygiene Month, and this year's theme is "Everyday Extraordinary."
That's because dental hygienists "give of themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally all day to deliver the very best care, education, and treatment they can to their patients and communities," says Becky Smith, president of the American Dental Hygiene Association, in a press release.
Colgate is partnering with the ADHA for the fourth year in a row to honor all dental hygienists during National Dental Hygiene Month, which runs from Oct.
25 to Nov.
1, per a Colgate press release.
"One way we help fulfill our purpose by empowering dental hygienists with education and products designed to improve the oral health of their patients," says Barry Reichgott, general manager Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
