Healthy Teeth Happy Babies -- Azteca Informativo Extra -- Interview at Salud Clinic

Azteca America television highlights the importance of infant and prenatal oral health during National Children's Dental Health Month in February 2011. Monica Santa Cruz from Salud Family Health Centers in Commerce City is interviewed and Healthy Teeth Happy Babies Materials are featured for the Informativo Extra edition of Azteca News.

A summary of the Spanish to English translation is: Parents often think that if a baby doesn't have teeth, or has only baby teeth, they don't need to take care of them. But that's not actually true. Starting when a baby is born, until they have teeth, parents should clean their gums with a clean moist towel so that they don't give bacteria to the baby (parents should begin brushing when the first tooth appears). We also talk to parents about not giving their children soda, chocolate milk, and power drinks that have a lot of sugar.
