October is #NationalDentalHygieneMonth! How can you celebrate? How about making a goal to brush twice a day, floss once a day, and see the dentist every six months?

Call one of our Centers now to schedule your next oral hygiene appointment. https://t.co/rps9dkJvGi

@DentalAccessMN and #mnleg let's learn from other states what works so we can improve access to care and more importantly improve oral and overall health!

Reversible Decay: Oral Health is a Public Health Problem.
@appletreedental and @DentalAccessMN are breaking down the barriers to care faced by millions of people. Check out #POLITICOOralHealth for a new study and call to action!

Thanks to the Schmeeckle Foundation's investment in bringing dental care to Fairmont within Mayo Clinic Health System. Thanks too to community members and Senator @JulieRosenMN who helped celebrate @appletreedental and the other Schmeeckle grant recipients (watch the video!).

Congratulations to @appletreedental on their partnership with the @MayoClinic to open a new dental clinic in Fairmont! #dentalaccess #mnleg #protectoralhealth

Most oral diseases can be prevented! The MA benefit set should include comprehensive oral health coverage, including periodontal (treatment of gum disease). #oralhealthishealthcare #mnleg #protectoralhealth

[Dental Access Partners @DentalAccessMN]

#OralHealth is crucial to being healthy. Yet, the #1 reason Americans lack access to #OralHealthCoverage is the cost of #DentalCare.

Be sure and floss! Researchers say good dental health ‘substantially’ decreases risk of Alzheimer's:

Rural residents already lack access to needed dental care. If Minnesota cuts dental benefits for its public programs, this disparity between urban and rural Minnesotans will only get worse.

The average emergency dept visit for dental pain costs $750, while a dental emergency treated in an office is $390. MN will not save money by cutting dental benefits- expensive visits to the emergency department will increase. #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts

Better dental care now means less problems for our elders in the future. #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts

42 percent of low-income people have untreated tooth decay, compared with 12 percent of Americans with higher incomes. Minnesota should be doing what it can to reduce this disparity. #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts

[Dental Access Partners @DentalAccessMN]

It’s not hard to understand that states with dental benefits have healthier residents. We should be strengthening oral health care in the state, not eliminating it. #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts

[Dental Access Partners @DentalAccessMN]

Better oral health can improve job prospects. In a recent study, 29% of low-income adults reported that the appearance of their mouth and teeth affects their ability to interview for a job. #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts

[Dental Access Partners @DentalAccessMN]

"Benefit cuts should be the last resort, not the first." We agree!

Your mouth is the vessel to your body - you can't separate oral health from your overall health! #mnleg #stopsenatedentalcuts #protectoralhealth

Poor oral health can lead to other chronic illnesses- and make some diseases worse. Eliminating Medicaid dental benefits doesn't make sense! #mnleg #protectoralhealth #stopsenatedentalcuts
