National Children's Dental Health Month Updates!

Have you been spreading the word about National Children's Dental Health Month?  As the month of February comes to a close, we want to remind all our family and friends on the importance of dental health in children!  It's important to establish good oral hygiene as a young child, and help prevent future dental problems down the line.  Below are some statistic on children's dentistry:

Tooth Decay is the Most Common childhood disease

• 3 out of every 5 children are affected by tooth decay
• Tooth Decay is 5 times more common than asthma
• 16 million lack access to basic dental care
• 51 million school hours missed due to oral disease
• Every $1 spent on prevention in oral car can save you $8-$50 on restorative emergency procedures
• 2 is too late! Take your child to see a dentist before age 1
• Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes

Let's all work together to put an end to tooth decay in children, especially since it's almost entirely preventable!  More Details: http://visual.ly/february-childrens-dental-health-month
