Though February is National Children s Dental Health Month, a dentist says kids are not the only ones who should be getting a check-up.
Dr. William Griffin, DDS, vice president of dental ministries for the Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA), says having your natural teeth enables a person to better chew food, which gives greater ability to digest it and to receive all the nutrients that it contains. So people without natural teeth or with a decreased number of natural teeth don t get as much nutrition from the food that they eat, he continues.
