The importance of oral hygiene, from Dr. Tina Siu

Dr. Tina Siu provides dental health screenings for several groups, including the "Give Kids a Smile" program. Young & Healthy in Pasadena has a dental health screening as well as the San Gabriel Valley Foundation for Dental Health. Dr. Siu enjoys helping these lower income families be more aware of their dental health - community service is very important to Dr. Siu. She believes in giving back to the community that has given so much to her, and tries to emphasize the importance of daily oral hygiene and visits to the dentist for dental cleanings twice a year. She reminds the kids that "2" is the number to remember when your talking about your teeth: Brush your teeth 2 times a day, for 2 minutes each time, and visit your dentist 2 times a year!

Regular health screenings can help find problems before they start. They also can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment are better. By getting the right health services, screenings and treatments with Dr. Siu, you are taking steps that help your chances for living a longer, healthier life!
