Keeping Your Child’s Teeth Healthy
SAN DIEGO -- February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and First 5 San Diego is reminding parents and caregivers about the importance of brushing and taking care of their children’s teeth.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, nearly 50 percent of children have tooth decay before age five. A study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) found that over one-third (36.4%) of children ages one through five in San Diego County have never visited a dentist.
“A significant number of San Diego’s children enter Kindergarten with severe tooth decay,” said Barbara Jiménez, executive director, First 5 San Diego. “The pain affects their ability to focus and learn and is the number one reason children are missing school.”.............
