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 over 20% of 2-19 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. Fortunately, most Delta Dental plans cover the important services your child needs from a dentist:

• Exams

• X-rays

• Cleanings

• Fluoride treatments

• Sealants

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