In February, we observe National Children's Dental Health Month, emphasizing the importance of oral health for kids. Cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are prevalent among children but entirely preventable. Untreated cavities can lead to pain and infections, impacting eating, speaking, playing, and learning. Children with poor oral health often miss more school and achieve lower grades than their peers.

A crucial aspect of maintaining strong and healthy teeth is your child's diet. Including calcium-rich foods such as yogurt, broccoli, and milk can contribute to robust dental health. Educating your child about healthy eating habits sets the foundation for a lifetime of good health.
