More than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental-related illnesses. Despite these numbers, many children still do not visit the dentist. In addition, almost 50 percent of tooth decay remains untreated in low-income children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Preventive dental care starts from home, and does not have to be costly.  Making sure your child brush at least two minutes twice a day.  Also flossing is a major player in prevention.   If your children are to young to floss on their own make sure you floss their teeth daily before bed time.

When it come to seeing a dentist for the twice a year check ups,  save money by having a dental insurance plan in place.  Many  dental insurance plans offer free preventive care services.  For dental services such as X-rays, office visits and cleanings.
