 February is National Children's Dental Health Month, which works to emphasize the importance of lifelong dental health. I spoke with Pike County Public Health Director Tammy Riley about the importance of dental health and programs they offer. Dental health is important at a very young age. We want to start teaching our children good oral health habits and one of the programs that we have at the Pike County Health Department is our Bright Smiles Program, which the goal of the program is to do just that, to teach children good habits and provide preventative care from an early age. At Audiology Associates of Prestonsburg, you can live your life the way you want and find the freedom of better hearing. With 40 years of being in the hearing care industry, you'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met.

They also work with patients to establish a home with a permanent dental provider. We only get, you know, as far as our permanent teeth, one set of teeth and we want to learn early, you know, how to take care of our dental care and those baby teeth is also very important to have healthy baby teeth to ensure healthy adult teeth. And we again want those teeth to last a lifetime and just so many other health issues can arise from oral health concerns. For more information, go to Pike County Health Department on Facebook.
