#StarWarsDay is as good as any for a reminder that if you only take your kid to the dentist when there's a problem, they will only see visits to the dentist as an unpleasant experience.
Take them for a routine cleaning and check-up every 6 months! #Maythe4thBeWithYou #StarWars

We're celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek with @DDFGivesBack by providing #OralHealth education kits to #PublicLibraries like @RoyalOakLibrary in MI. They had a dentist read to the kids who also got fun activity books, toothbrushes and information to take home. DM us for more info!
