It’s also not commonly understood that there is a strong, though unclear, relationship, between your tooth health and the functioning of your immune health. Scientists have found links between tooth problems and problems in other parts of the body, including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and dementia, among others.

The Statistics are Serious
Despite all the evidence for the importance of dental care, tooth decay remains a chronic condition among children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that “23% of children between 2 and 11 have AT LEAST one primary tooth with untreated decay.” That’s approximately one in four children in America already experiencing tooth problems!
