February 2022: Children's Dental Health Month

February is National Children's Dental Health Month, a great opportunity to promote the benefits of good oral health, because developing good dental health habits at an early age, including scheduling regular dental visits, helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
