National Children's Dental Health Month

For the past 63 years, the American Dental Association has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness and express the importance of oral health at a young age, especially during orthodontic treatment. Developing good habits, including regular visits with your dentist, even while under orthodontic care at an early age, helps patients get off to a good start for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

Brushing and flossing can be more difficult for children with braces, and removing accumulating food particles will require more effort and extra time. If oral health is not taken seriously, the treatment results can be significantly compromised or delayed. Any one of our Sondhi-Biggs team members would be happy to explain why proper brushing and flossing are so important while in orthodontic treatment.
