Important Health News

Health Awareness Months in February


  • National Children's Dental Health Month
  • American Heart Month
  • Wear Red Day


These awareness events encourage us to take the time to learn more about various health causes.

National Children's Dental Health Month


Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health among children. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Tooth decay is the most common preventable disease among children in the United States!


At CHDC, we take a "Total Dental Program" approach, ensuring every part of our client's dental care is addressed and cared for. Ensure your child is getting the care they need! Learn more about our Dental services by clicking the button below.

American Heart Month


February is American Heart Month! This month is meant to highlight the importance of cardiovascular health. In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and can affect women at any age! It's important to focus on your heart health. Did you know that dark chocolate (50%-85% cacao) can help lower blood pressure? A 2015 study found that participants who ate 25g of dark chocolate daily for 8 weeks had significantly lower blood pressure than those who didn't. Blood pressure is lowered by the natural flavonoids within the dark chocolate.

Wear Red Day


National Wear Red Day is celebrated on the first Friday of every February to bring awareness of cardiovascular disease. More specifically, this day is dedicated to American women as a way to address their leading cause of death, heart disease.


At CHDC, staff wore red to show their support and bring awareness! Learn more about National Wear Red Day by clicking the button below.
