April is Oral Health Month and it's time to show us those #UAlbertaSmiles.

The U of A's School of Dentistry is working to raise awareness around the importance of having good oral health and its direct link to improving overall health. We encourage everyone to get involved and share their smiles with us.

So don't forget to tag us and tweet to us on Facebook and Twitter. We'll share your smiles with everyone - after all smiles are contagious.

Here are a few simple steps from the Canadian Dental Association to get you started:

 

1. See your dentist regularly

2. Keep your mouth clean

3. Eat a well-balanced diet

4. Check your mouth regularly for signs of gum disease and oral cancer

5. Avoid all tobacco products
