2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Check out our 2017 Annual Report to learn about how we impacted the oral health in our communities last year.
PARENTS CONFESS FLOSSING IS MOST CHALLENGING THING TO GET CHILD TO DO REVEALS DELTA DENTAL SURVEY
Parenting can sometimes feel like an uphill marathon, particularly when it comes to enforcing proper oral care habits with your child. According to a recent national survey from Delta Dental, parents say it's more challenging getting their child to floss regularly (45%) or brush their teeth (37%) than it is getting their child to make the bed (30%) or to complete homework on time (25%).
The Children's Oral Health Survey indicates that many of our nation's offspring are not following the recommended guidelines of brushing their teeth for two minutes, twice daily, and flossing once a day, potentially leading to oral health problems. The majority of parents (78%) confess that their child's oral health isn't as good as it could be, with 64% disclosing that their child currently has oral health issues, including cavities (31%).
Scheduling regular dental check-ups as a part of a child's preventive oral health routine is important to protect against missing school for unplanned dentist visits. You can visit the
DDCO website to find a dentist near you and schedule check-ups for your family and also
learn more about the connection between oral and overall heath.
