The Numbers
Did you know that according to the CDC, twenty percent of children between 5 and 11 years old have untreated tooth decay? Or that thirteen percent of kids between 12 and 19 years old have tooth decay as well?
These are only the numbers that go untreated, and they go much higher when treated teeth come into play. Childhood oral hygiene is incredibly important to the success of our youngsters, and even though it’s preventable, tooth decay is five times more common than asthma in children, according to the AAPD.
The Fight Against Childhood Tooth Decay
We can do better in the fight against childhood tooth decay by taking steps like in the infographic above. However, if you want to be sure your child is getting the best possible dental care at home, the AutoBrush for Kids brushes more effectively than any standard toothbrush. The automatic brush is easy to use, and besides having a cool design that kids love, it brushes the mouth for you. Kids don’t have to worry about their brushing technique, speed, or surface area, the AutoBrush for Kids does it all.
It's important to stay on top of your child's hygiene every step of the way so they can have successful, healthy lives.
