Pediatric Dentistry of Valencia

Did you know? According to the most recent National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES; 1999-2004), that although baby tooth dental decay in children between ages 2-11 declined between the early 1970s to the mid 1990s the trend has reversed with a small yet significant increase from the mid 1990s until the most recent survey.

Congrats to Jeremy H. and Zuree B. for winning the NO-CAVITY prize for February! They both won a Phillips Kids Sonicare Tooth Brush...Great Job!!

February is National Children's Health Month. To raise awareness about the importance of oral health, we will be visiting several local preschools in February to speak to the children about oral hygiene. We will also be giving out a Phillips Kids Sonicare toothbrush to each of our two No-CAVITY CLUB winners of February! Good oral hygiene practices such as thorough brushing, daily flossing, and regular check-ups can help prevent children from acquiring tooth decay. So keep on... brushing, you can do it!
