Did you know that dental related issues cause more than 51 million lost school hours in the U.S. each year?
Smiles Across America (SAA) aims to reach children annually in school-based or school-linked settings with oral disease prevention and oral health promotion services such as dental sealants, fluoride varnish treatments and family education. SAA is affording care for children who do not have regular dental visits due to lack of resources, insurance, transportation, or because of low literacy or language barriers. The program works with community leaders, elected officials and the media to make the case that healthy mouths are critical to overall health.
Smiles Across America and Trident know that dental disease can be prevented with proper treatment and instruction. That is why they have teamed up to give over 250,000 underprivileged kids dental care each year. They want to help keep kids’ smiles healthy and bright.

I’m ok with Strident not being kosher although its interesting that its not. I was also intrigued by strident gum being gluten free too.

I learned that dental disease is the most common childhood disease and that they term it as being chronic. I am familiar with the Smiles Across America program- it is an awesome program and I know the dentist we see participates.
I also learned dental disease affects more than 90% of people over 20- amazing numbers!

The more you help kids incorporate healthy dental care habits in their everyday life, the more
likely they will initiate self‐care on their own as they grow

I learned:
Does Trident Layers have Xlyitol?
Trident Layers does not contain Xlyitol.
I also learned dental disease affects more than 90% of people over 20- amazing numbers
Xylitol is produced in the body! Never knew that!
I learned that sharing spoon/cups/straws can transfer bacteria from parent to child and don’t ever put a child to sleep with a bottle (im guessing all that gunk will get stuck in the teeth and harbor bacteria).

“Parents should set a great example by taking care of their own mouths, too”….I should not just tell my daughter to go brush her teeth after lunch, I should go in there with her and brush mine too!! If she sees that I am doing it too, she will be more likely to do it.
