Pueblo Chieftain: Small Smiles Dentist Addresses Need for Dental Health Care for Kids

Last week, the Pueblo Chieftain ran an op/ed from Small Smiles dentist, Dr. Randall Ellis.

The op/ed is aimed at raising the awareness of the importance of dental health during Children's Dental Health Month.

Randall writes, "As a dentist at Small Smiles of Pueblo, I spend my days examining children’s teeth, and what I find is not always the picture of good health. All too often I see children with advanced tooth decay, many of whom are in severe pain. Nationwide, dental caries, or tooth decay, is the single most prevalent childhood disease. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General has called tooth decay the “silent epidemic.” But there is good news – tooth decay is also highly preventable."
