THE MOST CHRONIC DISEASE IN
CHILDREN ISN'T OBESITY OR
ASTHMA... IT'S ACTUALLY
CAVITIES. AND THESE ORAL HEALTH
PROBLEMS GET WORSE OVER TIME.
IT'S FIVE TIMES MORE COMMON IN
CHILDREN THAN ASTHMA... AND
THREE TIMES MORE PREVALANT THAN
OBESITY. CAVITIES AFFECT SIXTY
PERCENT OF CHILDREN... AND CAN
LEAD TO A LIFETIME OF DENTAL
ISSUES.
CAVITIES IN CHILDREN ARE PAINFUL
AND TOOTH DECAY ISN'T
REVERSABLE. THERE IS ALSO
CONCERN THAT DENTISTS OFTEN HAVE

YOUNG CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T SIT THROUGH A FILLING. BUT
THE PROBLEM IS AVOIDABLE.
"IT'S IMPORTATNT YOU KNOW, I
DON'T WANT THEM TO BE GETTING
CAVITIES. " THE COMBINATION OF
DENTAL SEALANTS AND FLUORIDE HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO NEARLY
ELIMINATE TOOTH DECAY IN
SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN.
"I THINK IT'S GETTING BETTER
OVER THE YUEARS, A LOT OF

LATER IN LIFE."
IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE CARE OF
THE PROBLEM EARLY, ONE IN FOUR
