Children with early childhood decay are at risk of getting more decay. It goes beyond pain and infection. It can affect speech, capacity to eat certain foods, ability to learn and self-esteem. Tooth decay is the number one childhood disease. It is five times
more common than asthma seven times more common than hay fever. Recent oral health needs assessment results showed
that 46.9% of children between K-5 and 3rd grade had experienced tooth decay. Nutrition plays a big role in early childhood
decay. What a child eats and how often they eat contributes to the tooth decay process.
