Every year, the month of February is dedicated to raising the importance of oral health for children as National Children’s Dental Health Month. Too often, the importance of oral care for children is underestimated as the primary teeth eventually fall out. However, the health and development of the primary teeth set the foundation for oral health for the remainder of a child’s life. As a pediatric dentist in Northampton, we support National Children’s Dental Health Month and the mission to raise awareness about oral care for children. To ensure your children have the right foundation for a lifetime of oral health, we have the tips you need to protect their smiles.
