February Is National Children’s Dental Health Month - OHI Gives Kids a Smile
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), children with tooth decay are more likely to have sinus and ear infections, along with a host of other medical problems stemming from poor dental care.
In recognition of National Children's Dental Health Month this February and the Give Kids a Smile program, Dr. Elizabeth Wenslauskas, a dentist at Ocean Health Initiatives (OHI), will be providing free dental care to children 12 years of age and under whose families do not have any insurance Friday, February 1, 2008. Only those who have made an appointment will be seen. Call the OHI Call Center at 732-363-6655 to schedule an appointment at 101 Second Street, Lakewood. Space is limited.
Children's Dental Health Month focuses on raising awareness about the importance of dental care and provides oral health education to all children despite their economic status. According to ADA, “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.”
Traditionally, Give Kids a Smile takes place the first Friday in February. It is designed to provide education, and preventive and restorative care to children who do not have access to oral care because they lack dental insurance.
