National Children's Dental Health Month may be no more, but a good oral health care routine is something we all should adhere to throughout the year - regardless of our age. #teethmatter #NCDHM
National Children's Dental Health Month may be winding down, but ensuring every child has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of good oral health should be a year-long endeavor. #NCDHM #teethmatter
Prevention matters at all ages - even with primary teeth. Children who experience cavities are more likely to experience tooth decay in adulthood, leading to further dental issues that may affect their overall health, economic wellbeing and how others perceive them. #teethmatter #NCDHM
Yes, fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities. And coupled with drinking fluoridated water, it adds even more protection to help safeguard teeth and strengthen tooth enamel against cavity-causing germs. #teethmatter #NCDHM
Cavities are the #1 chronic childhood disease and children of color and kids from lower-income households are more likely to experience untreated cavities. Let's strive to advance oral health equity with investments that expand access to oral health care and preventive measures. #teethmatter #NCDHM
Parents and caregivers are a child's first teacher. This National Children's Dental Health Month is a great time to model the importance of good oral health by making brushing and flossing a family activity. #teethmatter #NCDHM
