Children’s Dental Health
CDH Dental Health Programs focus on the prevention of oral diseases in children. Education and preventive dental services are offered through the First Teeth Matter Program, School Sealant Clinics, and Fluoride Varnish Clinics.
First Teeth Matter
CDH’s First Teeth Matter clinic can help reduce the chance of cavities in your child —from your child’s first tooth to age three or until the child is comfortable going to the dentist.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease affecting 24% of U.S. children 2-4 years of age.
