February is National Children’s Dental Health Month

February is recognized as National Children’s Dental Health Month, so for Pediatric Dentists this is an exciting time for us. This is a time for us Dental Professionals to try to get the message out to moms to schedule that visit to the Pediatric Dentist. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry national survey, only one in four parents are taking their child to the dentist by his or her first birthday, the age recommended by leading health experts. If you have been putting off scheduling an appointment for your child because just the thought of it makes you nervous, then worry no more. At Teays Valley Pediatric Dentistry, our Doctors and staff are ready to meet with you and your child and discuss ways for you to care for your child’s teeth and keep them healthy and cavity-free. We may also have some tips for you to break those bad habits like the bottle, pacifier, or thumb-sucking. Tooth decay is 100% preventable, so call today and get your child started on the right path to great oral health. See you soon!
