*Attention patients of PVD*

The American Dental Association has made new recommendations for dentists to only see emergency patients until April 30th, at the earliest.

It’s National Children’s Dental Health Month! We figured a nice message about kids dental health should be shared.

This message is all about PREVENTION.

If we can start our kids on the path to optimal oral health early enough by setting a positive example with a healthy diet and a diligent daily dental hygiene routine, then our children will emulate us by developing their own dental hygiene habits that will serve them well from the time they are kids, through adulthood.

Why the Prevention Message?
Pediatric dental disease is 5 times more common than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever.
Left untreated, pediatric dental ...
