Additional Resources for Parents
“When we are young, we are taught to brush our teeth in order to develop healthy and preventative habits. Hopefully by the time we reach adulthood, the act of brushing every morning has become second nature.

Perhaps it’s because we haven’t placed enough importance on developing this healthy habit?” (Desiree Webber, 2013)
