May marks the arrival of warmer weather, longer days, and a sense of renewal as spring reaches its peak in many parts of this hemisphere. This is the time of year when people are most excited to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, flowers, and wildlife that spring has to offer.
May is also full of diverse holidays including Mother's Day and Victoria's Day. Finally, the time has come to go outdoors and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, camping, and simply relaxing in the natural beauty.
May is observed as Hypertension Awareness Month including World Hypertension Day on May 17th. We would like to highlight Hypertension awareness and the connection between Hypertension and Oral Health. Hypertension is a common condition that can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly and seek treatment if necessary. Read our article below to learn more about how to take care of your oral and overall health. Don't forget to schedule a check-up appointment with us to discuss any concerns with your smile!
Have a safe and healthy month,
Sincerely,
Dr. Jordan Benedict and the Port Hope Dental team
