Across the world, a jaw dropping 60…90% of school children currently have untreated dental cavities. Parents need to take the initiative to find a childrens dentist they take their children to visit on a regular basis every 6 months.

Without regular scheduled dental maintenance, the likely hood you will have to take your child to an emergency pediatric dentist at some point skyrockets.

Scheduling an emergency dentist appointment with an emergency pediatric dentist is something no one likes to see.

Not only do all dentists try to promote keeping your mouth healthy enough to maintain all your original teeth, but the price of dental implants is quite high… part of the reason it is a billion dollar industry.
