National Women's Health Week


This weekcommunities, businesses, government, health organizations, and other groups come together in an effort to promote women's health (including oral health!) and its importance. It also empowers women to make their health a priority and encourages them to take the following five steps to improve their physical and mental health and lower their risks of certain diseases:

  1. Visit a health care professional to receive regular checkups and preventative screenings.
    • Visit your dentist regularly (twice a year!) and ask for an oral cancer screening.
  2. Get active!
  3. Eat Healthy
    • See foods that are good for your oral health here.
  4. Pay attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and managing stress.
  5. Avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, not wearing a seat belt or bicycle helmet, and texting while driving.
