Cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) are one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood in the United States. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. Children who have poor oral health often\u00a0miss more school and receive lower grades than children who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The good news is that\u00a0cavities are\u00a0preventable. Fluoride varnish can prevent about one-third (33%) of\u00a0cavities in the primary (baby) teeth.2<\/sup>\u00a0Children living in communities with fluoridated tap water have fewer\u00a0cavities than\u00a0children whose water is not fluoridated.3<\/sup>\u00a0Similarly, children who brush daily with fluoride toothpaste will have fewer cavities.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

Here’s an infographic to help parents know how to best care for their child’s oral health.<\/p>\n
