Brightening Young Smiles With Good Dentistry

Oral health is an essential component of overall health. Nearly half of all children have experienced dental decay by the time they reach the third grade. Nationally, 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease. For children, poor oral health can interrupt life’s most basic activities, such as eating, sleeping, speaking and learning. In adulthood, the consequences become more severe. Dental disease is associated with stroke, heart disease, complications with diabetes, and the delivery of premature babies.
