Low-Cost Dental Care May Prevent Tooth Decay in Children.

The numbers are frightening. A greater number of young children are suffering from severe tooth decay than they did even 10- and 20-years ago. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, tooth decay in children between ages 2 to 11 declined from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, but since then, the numbers of dental problems in young children have grown.
Forty-two percent of children under 11 have cavities, and children whose families don’t have access to low-cost dental care suffer even more tooth decay. At least 23 percent of children have cavities that are left untreated.
Proper oral hygiene, when practiced early in life and coupled with regular dental exams, can have a lasting and profound effect on a child’s oral and physical health, including their emotional health. Children grow up feeling more confident when they have healthy teeth and gums and an attractive smile.
If your family can’t find low-cost dental care in your community, there are affordable dental plans that can help. AmeriPlan discount dental plans are not a form of dental insurance, but instead provide deep discounts on all your dental needs for the entire family. These affordable dental plans start at $19.95 per month for an entire household, and they include substantial savings of 20 percent to 80 percent off all common dental procedures, including regular cleanings, exams and x-rays.
