An estimated five million children in the United States have dental problems severe enough to impair their ability to eat, talk, sleep, and learn. Only four minutes a day, which is just as little over one day a year, is all the time that is needed to help a child keep their smile.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month. The dental hygiene class of 2007 at Darton College encourages you to celebrate with us!

Kids: Do your part! Remember to brush two times a day for two minutes! Floss everyday and eat healthy foods!

Parents: Take action! At an early age, our children need to become aware of the importance of their oral health. Watch and teach your children good oral care and take them to the dentist at least twice a year. Let's get a good jump on their oral health, which will contribute to good overall health! Let's ensure that our children keep smiling!
