The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry takes this opportunity to raise the awareness of a top chronic infectious disease among children, tooth decay.
“More common than asthma and childhood obesity. In fact, about half of children in the U.S. are affected by tooth decay by the time they enter school leading to over 34 million school hours lost each year due to dental problems. But, as I tell my young patients, it is entirely preventable.”
Colgate explains why Children’s Dental Health is so Important
National Children’s Dental Health Month raises awareness of the importance of teaching children good oral habits early to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles. Parents or caregivers are essential and can promote children’s dental health this month and throughout the year. Support children’s dental health by working with dental professionals on specific topics such as:
Tooth decay
Getting your child familiar with their dentist’s office
Preventing crowded teeth
Healthy gums in later years
Keeping up with daily oral care and visiting the dentist at least twice a year for an oral examination and professional cleanings are steps you can take towards a happier and healthier mouth! Setting the foundation for your child earlier in life will set your child up for success in the future.
Taking A Child To The Dentist Can Be Overwhelming
It can be overwhelming for parents to watch their youngsters struggle in the dental chair. Just imagine how hard it is for the child and the dentist. IV sedation allows the to dentist perform several procedures without resistance or interruption.
Don’t worry, your child will not be unconscious, they will be able to answer any questions during the procedure. But won’t be bothered by the sounds, bright lights, or the smells associated with the dentist.
IV sedation medication has amnesiac properties which means your child won’t remember much if any of the dental procedure. Creating a positive association with going to the dentist and the beginning of a lifetime of good oral health.
