- This is one poster that interests me as a father. After all, my daughter Randy's picture could be up there, so could your young stars. So I'm pleased our sponsor tonight has asked this gentleman here to tell us about National Children's Dental Health Week, which starts February 5th, President of the American Dental Association, Dr. Charles H. Patton. Dental health, Dr. Patton, is important at any age, but why a Children's Dental Health Week? - Mr. Parr, because many people don't realize that the first teeth loss through neglect can mean permanent teeth are crowded and irregular and more susceptible to decay. That's why parents should teach children good dental rules early. - And these rules are? - Well, the first is brushing teeth correctly after each meal; avoid between meals, sweets; visit the dentist twice a year; and beyond that, support fluoridation in your community. - Thank you, Dr. Patton. - Yes. - Spare your children the tooth trouble you've had. And remember a smile is to keep.
