Doctor talks dental hygiene, the oral health crisis

This time of year, kids are excited about candy and sweets, while dentists are warning about the consequences of too much sugar and poor oral hygiene.

National Dental Hygiene Month, which coincides with Halloween, is the perfect time to discuss the health crisis affecting our kids and communities.

Dr. Maria Ryan, DDS, PhD, chief clinical officer of Colgate-Palmolive Company, is on a mission to educate people about the importance of oral health and its connection to overall physical health as well as mental health.
