Según una reciente encuesta presentada por el Ad Council nacional, un 75% de los padres entrevistados dijeron que sus niños con frecuencia o algunas veces se olvidan de cepillarse los dientes.
Esto es algo que preocupa, porque más de 51 millones de horas de escuela se pierden debido a problemas dentales que se podrían prevenir con una buena atención dental en casa. ¡Ningún niño necesita tener una carie o dolor en la boca!
According to a recent survey released by the national Ad Council, 75% of the parents surveyed said that their children either sometimes or frequently forget to brush their teeth.
