Midland, TX- "The very first time they go, they are so frightened," says Casa de Amigos Health and Dental Director Silvia Lemos. She is used to seeing the look of fear in children's eyes, and as a health and dental director at Casa de Amigos she's made it her mission to keep healthy bright smiles on every child.
Although Lemos admits she wasn't always excited about her annual checkup. When you were a kid did you like to go to the dentist? "No!"
Nowadays Lemos' main focus is on stopping an epidemic, "We're seeing more and more damage to the children's teeth at an earlier age." And she and Gloria Steelman both think sugar is one of the main culprits.
After seeing one of Steelman’s demonstrations she had parents thinking twice. "The cokes are gone," vowed one mom, and so are excess sweets.
That and learning to take care of their teeth properly were the main messages, Lemos wanted to share today, "They learn to cooperate early on, then when they go to the dentist it's like nothing for them."
