About the Dentists
Quality dental care is essential to ensure a child’s overall well-being. According the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), early childhood caries, or tooth decay, is the single most common childhood disease. Nationally, over 50 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease. Dental disease can impact all aspects of children’s lives, from their nutrition and sleep habits to their educational performance and self-esteem.
