National Children's Dental Health Month

Did you know that February is National Children's Dental Health Month? Good oral healthcare habits start at an early age. Teach your child the importance of regular brushing and flossing and try to reduce sugary liquids from your child's diet. When soda is consumed, be sure that your child brushes or at the very least, rinses her mouth out with water to reduce acid, the byproduct of the metabolism of sugars. Give them the benefit of healthy teeth for a lifetime!

We recently visited the Liberty, Missouri Early Childhood Center and talked about the importance of good oral hygiene to 250 kids ages 3-5. We had a great time and saw some awesome smiles!
