Dental Health Matters!
Dental health is important and can affect more than just your smile. All Students should brush two times every day and use floss every day!
Keep an Eye on Your Vision Health
If you spend a lot of time focusing on one thing, such as a computer screen, your eyes can get tired. Try the 20-20-20 rule to reduce eyestrain: every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds.
