Quality dental care is essential for a child’s well-being. Research shows cavities are the single most common chronic disease among children. Untreated decay affects 19.5% of 2 to 5 year olds and 22.9% of 6 to 19 year olds. Dental disease can affect a child’s life, from eating and sleeping, to school performance and self-esteem. 

That’s why it’s so important for children to see a dentist.

Give your child a lifetime of smiles – start early! Children should be seen by age one or when their first tooth comes in. And, fortunately for you, most Delta Dental plans cover the important preventive services your child needs from a dentist:

• Exams
• X-rays
• Cleanings
• Fluoride treatments
• Sealants 

Review your dental plan benefits carefully to see what services your plan covers. Here’s to your little one’s healthy, growing grin!
