Childhood Obesity Awareness: Children with obesity face increased risks of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, and joint problems. They are also more likely to experience psychological difficulties, including low self-esteem and depression. The long-term consequences are serious: children with obesity are more likely to have obesity in adulthood, carrying those associated health risks through their lives.

Concienciación sobre la obesidad infantil: Los niños con obesidad corren un mayor riesgo de desarrollar diabetes tipo 2, presión arterial alta, apnea del sueño y problemas articulares. También son más propensos a experimentar dificultades psicológicas, como baja autoestima y depresión. Las consecuencias a largo plazo son graves: los niños con obesidad tienen más probabilidades de padecer obesidad en la edad adulta, arrastrando consigo los riesgos para la salud asociados a lo largo de su vida.

Why Restore Baby Teeth?
Why fix a cavity if the tooth is going to fall out anyway? Great question!
Even though baby teeth are temporary, cavities don't just disappear.
If left untreated, cavities can:
-Cause severe toothaches
-Lead to infection
-Affect eating and nutrition
-Cause missed school days
-Damage developing permanent teeth

Restoring baby teeth keeps children healthy, comfortable, and smiling until those permanent teeth are ready to come in.
Healthy baby teeth = healthy adult teeth! Be sure to care for those baby teeth!
