February is also National Children's Dental Health Month

Hello Patients! February is National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM) The American Dental Association (ADA) encourages children to practice good oral health habits. Dr. Carpentier & Dr. Hume recommend that parents schedule their child's first dental visit between the ages of 2 and 3 years old.  Don't Just Take It From Us! The ADA offers free downloadable oral health information to provide fun tools to promote the benefits of good oral health. The NCDHM program guide includes easy-to-do classroom activities and program planning timetable tips. During NCDHM, it is particularly important to raise awareness of the plight of children from low income families, many of whom have difficulty eating, sleeping, paying attention in school and smiling due to rampant dental disease.
