Patients,
May is Better Hearing & Speech Month. ASHA (American Speech-Language Hearing Association) uses this time to increase awareness of communication disorders. This includes the Identify the Signs campaign, which is aimed at better diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of communication disorders such as speech impediments and hearing loss.
Dr. Irwin, Dianne, and Elizabeth would like to use this as an opportunity to remind our patients, that oral health goes beyond a glistening, pearly-white smile. Oral health also encompasses having a proper bite and maintaining normal function. When teeth are misaligned, this can effect your bite; resulting in possible speech impediments and loss of function. Our mission is to change lives and improve overall health through enhancing smiles, one patient at a time.
As always, Dr. Irwin and her supportive staff are here to answer any questions you may have; including helping you find out if your dental insurance policy covers custom athletic mouthguards and bite guards, braces, and other corrective treatments that can help improve your bite and overall oral health.
Best Wishes,
Brighter Smiles Dental – The Office of Dr. Sylvia Irwin
