Because developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums, the American Dental Association sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month each February.
Now in its 63rd year, this month-long national health observance brings together thousands of dedicated dental professionals, health care providers and others to promote the benefits of good oral health to children and adults, caregivers, teachers and many others.
Parents and teachers can help kids celebrate and learn more about the importance of a healthy smile. The ADA offers free downloadable information, kid-friendly oral health worksheets and games on MouthHealthy.org, the ADA’s consumer website. Click on the For Kids tab on the left side of the page for a variety of age-appropriate activities, games and videos and presentations. There are also teaching guides that adults can use at home, in the classroom or in other community-based settings.

Your
Child’s Dentist is as Important as a Pediatrician
We encourage good dental hygiene in your children at an
early age and make it fun and comfortable so they keep those
habits for a lifetime.
Children’s teeth are more susceptible to cavities for
various reasons. They often do not brush like they should
and need parents’ supervision in their daily dental care.
This will help ensure they brush properly. Kids usually eat
more often during the day which prolongs their teeth’s
exposure to acid (from the foods they eat). This may result
in more cavities.
If a tooth is already not as clean as it needs to be it
will have a faster development of cavities due to more
frequent contact of food and juice. If poor dietary choices
and hygiene habits are identified and corrected, it will
help to decrease the chances of decay. Applications
of a fluoride varnish also help to remineralize teeth to further
reduce the incidences of cavities.
