Taking Care of Your Child’s Dental Health

We know that children must be healthy and ready to learn for school, and good dental health plays a bigger role than you might think.

Plenty of adults have a hard time staying on top of their own dental health and may even dread going to the dentist for care. Some people may even wrongly think that baby teeth aren’t important since little kids are just going to lose those baby teeth anyway. However, it is very important to start building healthy habits early on. Did you know that a child’s dental health can have huge impacts on their school readiness and their ability to learn?

Dental decay is the leading chronic health condition among children in the United States, and it’s 100% preventable!
