February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, an annual observance sponsored by the American Dental Association to promote good oral hygiene habits and highlight the connection between oral health and overall well-being beginning in childhood. At his dental clinic in West Lawn, David A. Schwartz, DDS, emphasizes that pediatric dental visits are about more than checking for cavities; they provide an opportunity to evaluate oral growth, jaw development and airway health during critical developmental years.

The practice offers mercury-free family and cosmetic dentistry with a whole-person approach. Pediatric services include growth and airway screening, evaluation for tongue- and lip-ties, oral myofunctional therapy, orthodontics and nonsurgical gum care. Schwartz notes that identifying concerns such as mouth breathing, improper oral posture or jaw imbalance early can help prevent future challenges related to sleep, behavior, facial development and overall health.

David A. Schwartz, DDS, PC serves children and families throughout the region, with a focus on education, prevention and individualized care.
