Food affects our teeth as much as our waistline.
Dental hygiene is an important factor to healthy living in general. That is one reason the University of Kentucky Lexington Community College Dental Hygiene program offers a complete hygiene clinic open to the public. Older citizens also have more incentive to come to the LCC clinic. This care includes a complete dental exam, oral cancer screening, cleaning, polishing, X-rays, patient education, toothbrush, toothpaste and floss, and referrals if needed. Tooth bleaching also is available for a nominal additional fee.
