All Kids Dental would love to partner with you!
Every child deserves a healthy smile and we would like to help you ensure optimal oral health for your children!
Our goal is to address and overcome barriers to oral healthcare for children through outreach and education.
We want to create a fun atmosphere to educate and train adolescents on how to care for their teeth where it will make a lasting impact.
Our registered hygienist will provide all the materials needed for the presentation, and distribute dental supplies according to how many children are in each class.
Untreated tooth decay in children causes pain and infection that leads to more missed school days and lower academic performance. We believe in collaborating with school systems, parents and caregivers to ensure that children are in good oral health and ready to learn.
Here is what we have to offer:

Saliva is one of your body's natural defenses against plaque because it acts to rinse your mouth of cavity-causing bacteria and other harmful materials. Dry mouth (also called Xerostomia) is a fairly common condition that is caused by diminished saliva production. People with medical conditions, such as an eating disorder or diabetes, are often plagued by dry mouth. Eating foods such as garlic, tobacco use, and some kinds of medications, including treatments such as cancer therapy can diminish the body's production of saliva, leading to dry mouth. Other causes are related to aging (including rheumatoid arthritis), and compromised immune systems.
Some of the less alarming results of dry mouth include bad breath. But dry mouth can lead to more serious problems, including burning tongue syndrome, a painful condition caused by lack of moisture on the tongue.
If dry mouth isn't readily apparent, you may experience other conditions that dry mouth can cause, including an overly-sensitive tongue, chronic thirst or even difficulty in speaking.
If you don't have a medical condition that causes it, dry mouth can be minimized by sipping water regularly, chewing sugarless gum and avoiding smoking. Of course, there is no substitute for regular checkups and good oral hygiene.
