February is Children's Dental Health Month.
The concept of the Registered Dental Hygienist was to create a "School Dental Nurse" to prevent childhood dental problems. The Dental Hygienist, employed in the schools, would do a dental exam and cleaning, provide a fluoride treatment and teach basic home dental care.
Alfred Fones was the Dentist that created this unique profession. Some states in the Northeast still employ Hygienists in the school system.
Show your children how much you love them by taking them to see a Registered Dental Hygienist.
