Did you know that February is Oral/Dental Health Month?
From the PTA Wellness Team: Part of dental health is learning more about braces. Back in the day, we wore braces once and it was usually during high school. Today, things are very different, some kids are getting braces multiple times starting at younger and younger ages. Check out the "Little Teeth Truth: Is my child a good candidate for dental braces/retainer." From the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
