Prevention is the key to a lifetime of healthy teeth.... our goal is to educate and empower children and their families to make good oral health choices, starting at a young age." - Dr. Myron Allukian Jr. (A famous pediatric dentist and past president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) Teaching children proper oral health is essential. First, it helps to establish good habits that will last a lifetime. Children who learn to brush and floss regularly, eat a healthy diet, and visit the dentist regularly are more likely to maintain good oral health throughout their lives. Also, proper oral hygiene at a young age can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Poor oral health can lead to various health problems as they grow up, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Good oral health in children can improve their self-esteem and self-confidence, leading to a better quality of life.
