Tooth decay is the most common, but preventable, childhood chronic disease both in Canada and around the world. Since oral disease most frequently begins in the preschool years, it is important to establish good oral hygiene behaviors early on. Healthy teeth and gums make for a happier and healthier person! In Canada, one third of people do not have dental insurance, and as a result, many go without necessary dental care because it costs too much.
