Greetings from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
Have you heard that dental problems could affect your child's performance in school?
Children who reported having recent tooth pain were four times more likely to have a low grade point average when compared to children without oral pain, according to an Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC study.
The findings of the reasearchers are that dental problems do not just appear to be connected to lower grades, but also cause more absences from school for kids and more missed work days for parents. Oral health problems are a very significant factor for children's predisposition for a lower GPA when compared to children without oral health issues.
If it has been a while since you had your child see the dentist for a routine visit, please take a moment and call us at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com to schedule their check up! Let's give our children the best care we can and have them smile more than ever!
