Schedule regular dental exams for your children, even before they reach their first birthday. Your dentist will work to recommend a specific program of brushing, flossing and other preventive measures to teach to your children. When added to regular dental visits and a balanced diet, this will give your child a lifetime of healthy habits.
Before you take your child to the dentist, check with your local water provider to see whether your water supply is fluoridated.
“As a doctor, I support community fluoridation because I know that good dental health is connected to overall health. In fact, children with dental disease are more likely to face other serious health problems. In my mind, fluoridation is a no-brainer for the better health of our community.”
