February is National Children’s Dental Health Month: 10 Tips for a Healthier Smile

Well, February is here again, and it is National Dental Health Month sponsored by the ADA, American Dental Association.

Naturally, we all want our children to have a bright and beautiful smile with straight and healthy white teeth. You may think that your family, friends, and business associates’ children were born with that killer smile and those spectacular teeth, but they’ve most likely gone to see an experienced orthodontist like Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics. You can always tell when children have been loved and cared for, it shines through their smiles. Some have Invisalign Braces and others may have gotten their Wild Smiles braces long ago but you can rest assured their parents and their orthodontist are responsible for those amazing smiles.
