It’s the most common disease of childhood and can potentially interfere with the ability to eat, sleep, speak properly, learn, or pay attention in school. Getting kids from an early age to…
In my last blog, I discussed reliable online sources of information about your dental care options, including finding good dentists with positive patient reviews. I recommended using Denteractive’s video or text messaging tools to get questions answered and see if you feel a connection of trust with the dentist and staff. Let’s build on that…
