The Importance of Children’s Dentistry
Children require proper dental attention as much as adults do. They are more prone to dental emergencies and problems that can have life-long effects.
Our dentists Belmont WA spots dental issues early and prevents them from developing. This early diagnosis helps parents monitor their children’s health status. Underlying dental issues may cause more serious health problems if left untreated.
Epsom Dental Care is dedicated to teaching children the importance of dental health. It’s important that they learn to practice proper oral hygiene techniques as early as one year old.

How do I use the $1,026 benefit?
The $1,026 benefit may be used to pay for your child’s basic dental services for two years. If the funds are not yet fully used up within the first year, you can still use them in the second year if your child is still in the program. After the second year, any existing balance will not be carried forward.
