We all want the future leaders of our country to be successful, but the unfortunate reality is that millions of school hours are lost every year from a disease that is nearly 100% preventable. As tooth decay climbed the ladder to claim the title of “most common chronic childhood disease,” more and more children began to suffer.
Truth is, much of this suffering can be avoided with simple daily tasks. The total time investment is no more than 8 minutes a day – and that’s if using floss and mouthwash after every brush.
Fluoridated water plays a large role in protecting your child’s teeth so choose tap water over bottled water whenever possible. Make sure your child has bi-annual visits to the dentist and fills his/her plate with plenty of fruits and veggies.
With just a few daily changes, you can be a part of the solution to this painful problem.
