Dakota Dental Gives Recommendations to Parents for National Children’s Dental Health Month

Apple Valley dental clinic Dakota Dental celebrates National Children’s Dental Health Month in February.

February is known as the month to celebrate love and heart health, but it is also a month to celebrate children’s dental health. Designated as National Children’s Dental Health Month by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, February provides the perfect opportunity for parents, educators, and industry professionals to raise awareness about the importance of preventive dental care.

At Dakota Dental Apple Valley dentistry, the children’s dentists and staff embrace the opportunity to share good oral health habits with children during February and throughout the year. Preventive dental care routines are essential for taking care of your teeth, and include habits such as brushing and flossing every day, rinsing and swishing between brushing, applying dental sealants for kids, visiting Dakota Dental regularly, and eating a balanced diet that includes fruit and vegetables but minimal sweets.

As part of the regular children’s services offered at the dental clinic, the Apple Valley, MN, dentists provide dental care to even the youngest members of Twin Cities’ families. From free first dental health check ups (complimentary initial exams for children up to three years old) and regular teeth cleanings to dental sealants and fluoride treatments, Dakota Dental handles it all in a friendly, professional manner.

To prepare children for their first appointments, Dakota Dental dentistry for kids recommends that parents help ease potential fears. To assist with this, Dakota Dental offers a lending library of favorite books about dental clinics and dental services.
