February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!

For 60 Februaries, the American Dental Association, or ADA, has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. National Children's Dental Health Month began as a one-day event in 1941 in a Cleveland, OH clinic. In 1981, however, the program was extended to a month-long celebration known today as National Children’s Dental Health Month.

Each February, Dr. Kelly Hilgers and thousands of dental professionals focus on the preventive oral care of America's children. Drs. Kelly and Mathieu and our staff want you to remember developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. Has your child visited Hilgers Pediatric Dentistry during the past six months? If not, it’s time to schedule an appointment!
