Children's Oral Health

Keeping your child's teeth clean and healthy from an early age is very important. How your child takes care of their teeth now, can impact them for the rest of their lives. One in five children, from ages 5 to 11 years old, have at least one untreated decayed tooth and 1 in 7 kids, ages 12 to 19, do as well. 

Tooth decay is preventable if you and your child take the correct steps to have a healthier mouth. Flouride will do wonders for both your teeth and your child's. Children can get fluoride varnish and dental sealants on their teeth to help keep them safe.  Also, brushing and rinsing with fluoride will help give them extra protection. If you can't make it to the dentist, fluoride can be found in tap water as well as in over the counter mouth rinses and washes! 

As we Celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month, make sure you are taking daily steps to keep your kids' mouth clean, healthy and happy!
