“Every day, nearly every second, children use their mouths. It’s a passage for breathing. It’s where children hydrate and provide their bodies with the nutrients they need to grow and be healthy. Children use different parts of their mouths, also called the oral cavity, for many things. They use their tongues and throats to speak, muscles in their faces and mouths to smile and show emotion and their teeth to chew. Children’s dental health is very important. In fact, it can even affect their overall health. February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. Use this time to learn the proper ways to take care of your child’s mouth and teeth and the importance of brushing and flossing every day.”(more)
