Children
Dental health care for children varies by age because their mouths and teeth develop in stages, each with unique needs. Each stage builds on the last, supporting long-term oral health and proper development.
Pregnant Women
Good oral health is an important part of prenatal care, as the health of a mother’s body becomes the health of her baby. Brushing, flossing, eating healthy foods, and getting dental health checkups and treatment will help keep you and your baby healthy.
Adults
To protect your oral health, take care of your mouth every day. Good oral care includes daily brushing and flossing. Without good oral hygiene, germs can reach levels that might lead to infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
