You’re making a difference! A 2012-13 Oral Health Status report of kindergartners in 72 of NC’s 100 counties found that 64% had no obvious signs of tooth decay; only 13% had untreated tooth decay. This report by the Oral Health Section of the NC Department of Health and Human Services shows that North Carolina is still a leader in the effort to safeguard children’s overall health through good dental practices.
Studies show that reading bed-time stories to toddlers can benefit children socially and educationally. It promotes parent-child bonding, prepares a child for sleep and improves brain development. Did you know it can also be good for kids’ teeth health?
