Small cavities can turn into big problems
Tooth decay is one of the most common health problems in childhood. Many kids entering foster care have missed checkups, so problems may already be there.
Left alone, a cavity can lead to pain, infection, and trouble eating, sleeping, and focusing at school. Caught early, it's usually a much simpler fix.

Putting Off Care? Here's why you shouldn't
MYTH: Baby teeth fall out anyway, so cavities don't matter
FACT: Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help kids eat and speak. Untreated cavities can cause pain, infection, and damage to the adult teeth growing underneath.
MYTH: If my child isn't complaining, their teeth are fine
FACT: Many kids, especially those who've been through a lot, don't say when something hurts. Cavities and gum problems often don't hurt until they're serious.
MYTH: A little bleeding when brushing is normal for kids
FACT: Bleeding or swollen gums are a sign of inflammation. It's common, and easy to treat when caught early.
MYTH: My child is too scared, so we'll go when they're older
FACT: Starting from home, with you right there, is a gentle first step. Waiting often means a child's first visit is for pain, which makes fear worse.
MYTH: Tooth pain will go away on its own
FACT: Pain that fades can mean the nerve is dying, not healing. Left untreated, an infection can spread and become an emergency.
No traveling. No waiting room. No judgment.
