Pediatric Dental Health
Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Early childhood tooth decay has become the most common chronic childhood disease, impacting more children than asthma. According to the ADA, more than 40% of children have tooth decay by the time they reach Kindergarten.
At OASECT, we support Children's Dental Health Month by visiting local schools and encouraging students to develop healthy habits, including brushing, flossing, snacking healthy and having routine dental check-ups and cleanings. We also bring each child a goody bag that includes a toothbrush and toothpaste.
If you are an educator or parent who would like us to visit your child's school this month, please call, text or email us to schedule!
