Did You Know...

        … that tooth decay is the most common long–term childhood disease? Children of any age can get tooth decay, even babies and toddlers. Tooth decay is five times more common than asthma. The good news is that tooth decay can be prevented!

  • Begin brushing when your child's first tooth erupts.
  • Schedule your child’s first dental visit by age 1.
  • If a child's baby teeth are healthy, it is more likely their adult teeth will be healthy too.
