February is National Children's Dental Health Month - and we're reminding all parents and kids of the importance of brushing for 2 minutes, 2 times a day!
Taking good care of teeth is essential to health and development, especially at a young age. Although baby teeth do eventually fall out, they play an important role in helping your child bite, chew food, and speak clearly. With regular tooth care (brushing and flossing), bi-annual dental cleanings, exams, dental sealants, and x-rays, we can make sure that their teeth are developing into a healthy and beautiful smile.
Having a hard time getting your child interested in their smile health? The American Dental Association has a few cute dental health print outs for kids to enjoy!

You can also help keep kids keep track of their brushing habits by marking off two boxes on a calendar every time they brush! If you don't have a calendar at home, you can print off this checklist to help them fight cavities this month.
