The good news: Children enrolled in #Medicaid have #dental coverage until they’re 21 years old. The bad news? Families with low incomes confront a persistent challenge: having coverage doesn’t guarantee access to care. Explore more data in our blog post: https://t.co/kCfdlDPfvH

There were 26,741 extractions for tooth decay for 0-19 yr olds in 2021-2022

The rate is 3.5 times greater for children from the most deprived communities #inequality

Tooth decay is the most common reason for hospital admissions for 6-10 yr olds

@pchd That is correct and healthy teeth and mouth are also important!

While we hope to prevent people from needing dentures.....if YOU have them, taking care of them is an important part of YOUR daily routine!

[MedlinePlus.gov @medlineplus]

Dentures replace lost or damaged teeth. They can take a while to adjust to, but knowing how to take care of them will improve the transition: https://t.co/Pycwrn4p7a

Need to stay hydrated, especially here in the desert!
Water is the best and the minerals in it are also good for our teeth! Drink/swish with water after a snack or meal if you can't brush. :)

[MedlinePlus.gov @medlineplus]

RT @MyPlate: Keep your fridge stocked with healthy drinks! When kids open the fridge and see cold water, they’ll be more likely to grab it. https://t.co/OD86nWjCVn

Great reminder! And remember mom's oral health is important before, during and once the baby is born! Time for a dental screening?

Thinking about getting pregnant?

Talk to your doctor about getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy to prevent major birth defects of your baby's brain or spine: https://t.co/BvM795otcH

Mouths matter! 😀 Research links gum disease to #diabetes, #HeartHealth and #stroke risk. Tooth loss has the potential to affect a person’s nutrition and overall health.

Mmm what an excellent idea!

Packable tube yogurts are a big hit with little ones. And although yogurt is great for tiny teeth, the added sugars aren’t. 🙅‍♀️ Here’s how you can make yogurt sticks at home with only two tooth-healthy ingredients.

Fluorite not only helps keep a smile healthy...it is as beautiful as a healthy smile!

[Fluoride Exposed @FluorideExposed]

Calcium helps us have healthy bones. Fluoride helps us have healthy teeth.

But out in #nature, calcium fluoride is a colorful stone that occurs worldwide.

This naturally-occurring mineral form of calcium fluoride is known as fluorite.

Kaesin did, cavity free at 3! Great work mom Jenelle!

[The Mighty Mouth @MightyMouthWA]

Being cavity-free not only means your oral health is on the right track — it also will save you money at the dentist! 💰 Who else has celebrated this victory lately?

[MP @ohcoordinator]

Fall is finally here in southern AZ! #pimacounty #Arizona2020

[MP @ohcoordinator]

Wish we had the appropriate amount of fluoride in our tap water to prevent cavities! :(

[Fluoride Exposed @FluorideExposed]

Drinking fluoridated water prevents tooth decay by providing frequent and consistent contact with low levels of fluoride.
