February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!

For 60 Februaries, the American Dental Association, or ADA, has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. National Children's Dental Health Month began as a one-day event in 1941 in a Cleveland, OH clinic.

The American Dental Association held the first national observance of Children’s Dental Health Day on Feb. 8, 1949, according to the ADA. In 1981, however, the program was extended to a month-long celebration known today as National Children’s Dental Health Month.

Each February, Drs. Clark and Reddy and thousands of dental professionals focus on the preventive oral care of America's children. Our staff at Pearland Pediatric Dentistry wants you to remember developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Has your child visited our office during the past six months? If not, it’s time to give us a call and schedule an appointment!
