Good Oral Hygiene

Thursday, April 01, 2010

McDental for Good Oral Hygiene?

Developing good oral hygiene habits begins early in life. Teaching our children to brush and floss while they are young will in all likelihood enhance good habits that they will carry throughout their lives. Unfortunately not all children have access to the most basic of dental care. In Arkansas were tooth decay is more prevalent than asthma or hay fever according to Scott Gordon executive vice president of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. He noted that "Tooth decay is the most widespread of chronic illnesses affecting children ages five through 17".

The need has become so great in Arkansas that now McDonald’s is coming to the rescue and will be utilizing the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile to travel to 19 elementary schools to help provide the basics of early dental care. Good for McDonald’s! We have always been aware of their involvement with hospitals and the Ronald McDonald House. Their commitment to children and their dental health is to be commended.

If you have any questions with regards to your child’s dental health please do not hesitate to contact us at 561-394-9000 to arrange an appointment to ensure that you and your child have a healthy dentition. Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
