Wadas Dental & Associates, Inc. in partnership with the American dental association foundation and give kids a smile program has expanded out free dental visits to 36 months old! While February is national children dental health month we believe that children dental health should be a year round program.
The newborn program will include a risk assessment for fluoride exposure, sugary foods/drinks, cavities, special needs, lesions, missing teeth due to caries, visible plaque, salivary flow, tongue movement, breathing, and additional oral, visual, and radiological review.
It is our belief at Wadas Dental that we are here to help in any way to provide preventative care for newborns and children. We provide and education to the new parents to help maintain and care for the new baby teeth either already present or on their way.
There is no obligation beyond the infant care. all material, time, and efforts are provided as community service to all newborns and infants regardless of economic background, gender, race or any other affiliations.
Please help us help kids and educate to prevent children suffering from tooth decay o pain and provide a healthy mouth for their future.
