Not all children get their teeth at the same time. The chart below shows when each tooth usually comes in. Your child's teeth may erupt earlier or later. Your child's first visit to their pediatric dentist should occur shortly after the first tooth erupts and no later than your child's first birthday.

For the love of SUGAR 😱
Tipping the sugar scales

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports that the average American consumes between 150 to 170 pounds of refined sugars in one year!

It is recommended that we should be consuming no more than 5-10 percent of our total daily calories from added sugar.
Based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet, which is what is used on calorie information found on food labels. Five percent of this 2,000-calorie diet is 100 calories, which is the equivalent of 25 grams of sugar.

We are consuming HUGE amounts of sugar daily, definitely more than the recommended amount, knowing that over-consumption of sugar has been linked to cancer, depression, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and more... Just say NO to sugar!

Oral health has been well established as a fundamental component of general health. In the United States cavities are one of the most widespread chronic infectious diseases among children. In fact six in 10 children experience a cavity by age 8. Untreated baby teeth can spread and cause infection and can even damage the underlying permanent teeth. Children with poor dental health are more likely to experience dental pain, miss school, and perform poorly in school. Studies published in the American Journal of Public Health suggest that improving children's oral health may actually be a vehicle to enhancing their educational experience. As a parent, you are your child's best education advocate, keep them smiling, call our office today 740-441-1234 to schedule their preventive dental appointment.
