February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, a great reminder of how important it is to establish good oral hygiene habits early. Regular dental care not only helps prevent cavities but also supports overall health and well-being. At Primary Health Care (PHC), we’re here to help your child maintain a healthy smile with affordable, high-quality dental services.
Why Children’s Dental Health Matters
Good oral health starts with daily habits like brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing regularly. However, routine dental check-ups are just as important! The American Dental Association recommends children visit the dentist every six months to prevent issues like cavities and gum disease. Early visits also help children feel comfortable at the dentist, reducing anxiety for future appointments.

🦷 Routine cleanings and exams
🦷 Fluoride treatments and sealants to protect against cavities
