Dear PSA Director:

Oral health is a fundamental part of overall health, yet many Americans have untreated oral health problems. Research has found links between oral health and diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Problems in your mouth can impact other parts of your body.

A Healthy Mouth for Every Body, coordinated by the Health Resources and Services Administration, aims to raise awareness about the connection between oral health and overall health. The campaign highlights the importance of taking care of one’s oral health at home and seeing a dentist regularly for checkups.

Please help protect your listeners’ overall health by placing this PSA in heavy rotation between today and May 31, 2023.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Health Resources and Services Administration

MANY AMERICANS HAVE MISSED REGULAR DENTAL CARE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT’S IMPORTANT TO SEE A DENTIST TWICE A YEAR TO IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS EARLY. TAKING CARE OF YOUR ORAL HEALTH HELPS OVERALL HEALTH. BRUSHING AT LEAST TWICE A DAY WITH FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE AND FLOSSING DAILY CAN HELP PREVENT ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.
