National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of screening and the early detection of breast cancer. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point during her life. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer in women.
The good news? Many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – can help find breast cancer early. Make a difference! Spread the word about mammograms and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.
Even though they may seem like a quick way to trim your waist, diet pills can also be a fast track to gum disease and tooth decay.

Restrictive diets and poor eating habits can deprive you of the vitamins and nutrients necessary for a beautiful smile. It's especially important to get enough folate, B vitamins, protein, calcium, and vitamin C-all of which are considered essential for healthy teeth and gums.
Poor nutrition can affect your entire immune system, increasing your susceptibility to many disorders and infections, including periodontal disease.

As you age, you're more susceptible to decay near old fillings or root surfaces unprotected by receding gums. But, there's no reason you can't keep your teeth.
Oral disease-not aging per se-is the danger. And if you have arthritis, there are dental products that can make brushing and flossing less painful.
Of course you don’t want to take candy completely out of the Halloween equation—what fun would that be for your child?—but you may want to keep your costumed cutie away from treats that are truly horrible for her health.
