National Children’s Dental Health Month

February is the time of year when we emphasize the importance of starting good habits for oral health at a young age. This should include brushing gums and teeth twice daily in order to reduce plaque build-up, seeing the dentist yearly starting within 6 months of getting the first tooth and twice a year after the age of 2, and not falling asleep with a bottle. They can also discuss the use of sealants for molars as your kiddo gets older.
