The American Dental Association suggest that a child should see a dentist at the first tooth or no later then their first birthday. That said while around 80 percent of family dentist treat children still only around 25 percent of two years old have seen a dentist.  One of the main causing factor is the lack of dental insurance.

Many American family and their children are currently without any dental insurance or benefits. Without dental insurance the higher the odds that dental care is being put off. However the problem is your toddler’s teeth are especially susceptible to cavities. In most states there are many good low cost dental insurance plans you can get for your child and your family. Look towards an HMO if you want a lower cost dental plan. There are also dental discount plans in every state which will help reduce all your family dental care cost. There is no need to go without and put your child oral healthcare at a higher risk.
