Helping Happy Kids to Shine

Oral health is an integral and significant component of health. Dental caries is the number one chronic disease in children. The medical consequences of poor oral health include infection, pain, and impaired eating ability. These consequences can lead to poor nutrition and poor overall health. In addition to these physical effects, poor oral health can lead to speech difficulties, unpleasant appearance affecting self‐esteem, and an inability to concentrate due to pain. For children, this pain negatively affects their readiness to learn and to succeed in school. Prevention of oral diseases in children especially for those who have special health care needs is of great importance.
