About the Event
Many of us grew up seeing a dentist only when something hurt, and some of us have never been at all. So when should our children start? Earlier than most parents think. Whether it's your toddler's first tooth or your own first check-up in years, this session gives simple, honest answers for every age.
Dr Milu Varghese of Gentle Care Smiles, a family dental clinic in Vermont and a proud MIC Business Network member, will share practical tips to keep your family's teeth in top shape.
