Quality dental care is essential for a child’s well being. The research supports our view: Cavities are the single most common chronic disease among children. Untreated decay affects 19.5% of 2 to 5 year olds and 22.9% of 6 to 19 year olds. Dental disease can affect a child’s life, from eating and sleeping, to school performance and self-esteem.
That’s why it’s so important for children to see a dentist.
Give your child a lifetime of smiles – start early! Children should be seen by age 1 or when their first tooth comes in. And, fortunately for you, most Delta Dental plans cover the services your child needs from a dentist:
*Exams
*X-rays
*Cleanings

Review your benefits carefully to see what services your plan covers. Here’s to your little one’s healthy, growing grin!
