February is Children’s Dental Health Month – themed Brush, Floss, Smile!! Key insights reveal tooth decay as the predominant childhood ailment, impacting 3 in 5 children—surpassing asthma’s prevalence by fivefold and resulting in 51 million school hours lost yearly. Prioritize your child’s oral well-being with an initial dentist visit by age one. Establish a routine: brush their teeth for two minutes twice daily, and assist until they can self-manage. Leverage fluoride’s enamel-strengthening prowess to combat cavities. Opt for tooth-friendly snacks like yogurt, cheese, fruits, and veggies, eschewing lingering stickiness. Embrace water as the optimal drink for both dental and overall health. Prioritize those little smiles!
