Lecture Synopsis ---
Sleep-disordered breathing can have a profound negative impact on a child's growth and development. As orthodontists, we have an opportunity to participate in correcting these issues early before any lasting negative impacts appear.
Ankylosed teeth can prove to be an orthodontist's worst nightmare. Understanding the etiology and negative impacts of ankylosed teeth, can help orthodontists prepare the occlusion for post-orthodontic restorative care.

National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) began as a one-day event in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 3, 1941. The American Dental Association held the first national observance of Children’s Dental Health Day on February 8, 1949. The single day observance became a week-long event in 1955. In 1981, the program was extended to a month-long observance known today as National Children’s Dental Health Month.
Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.
