Did you know that the American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1?
The sooner children begin getting regular dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating, and other medical issues. Youngsters with healthy teeth chew food easily, learn to speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
The American Dental Association says that every child should visit a dentist by age 1 – or as soon as the first tooth appears. This “well-baby visit” teaches parents and caregivers how to care for their children’s teeth and help them remain cavity-free.

Now that we’re half way through July we thought it was a good time to highlight a few thoughts on staying health this summer.
All of us at KHC believe that summer is a great time to start new healthy habits. Especially for the over 40% of our keiki who struggle with weight and nutrition.
Here are 5 simple habits to try:
- Fill 50% of you plate with fruits and veggies.
- Eat at least one meal a day with your family
- Set limits screen time for the whole family and no TV while eating!
- One hour of FUN exercise a day
- Encourage kids to do activities they love most.
- Family fitness works! Be a role model and get moving with your keiki.
- Go swimming, surfing or just walk on the beach.
- Ditch sugary drinks
- Serve water or low fat milk at meals.
- Don’t keep sweetened drinks around the house.
- Water is best during and after exercise.
- Avoid sports drinks except for high intensity endurance sports.
Have fun out there and #staywell #bewell
Mahalo!
