#SaludTues Tweetchat on Valentine’s Day: I Love My Teeth!

Share On Social!

Untreated tooth decay is nearly twice as common among Latino school children as whites, and oral care habits at these young ages can impact oral care habits in adulthood.

That’s why Latinos and all children need good dental health behaviors as early as possible.
