Most American’s are aware that if you do not brush your teeth you will ultimately get cavities. However what most people are not aware of is that more than one in four children in the United States have had at least one cavity by the age of four. A majority of children are likely to get a cavity as early as the age of two!

The ADA’s goal is to raise as much awareness as possible about developing excellent oral health. Dental Associates of Delaware can’t help but agree with the ADA on these matters.
