April No Cavity Club Friend of the Month

by Dr. Steve Whittemore, D.D.S. | Published April 22, 2024

This month, our furry friend, Rocko Rex, was sent home with a lucky member of our No Cavity Club! Rocko Rex loves rocking out, reading, and regularly brushing his teeth to maintain his sparkling smile. Every night, Rocko Rex jams out to his favorite rock songs, and once he’s too tired to keep rocking on, he likes to read. At the moment, Rocko Rex’s favorite rock song is “Kids in America,” and his favorite book is “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” His final step before going to bed is brushing his teeth. Rocko Rex likes to brush his teeth regularly to keep those pearly whites shining bright!

To bring home the next month’s adorable plush companion, simply become a member of the No Cavity Club at Pediatric Dentistry of Central Iowa. Joining is a breeze! At your upcoming dental check-up, you need to receive a cavity-free report. With this report, you qualify for our monthly drawing, where one lucky winner gets to add a new cuddly friend to their collection!

We’re promoting healthy, cavity-free checkups to help prevent and explain cavities to kids. Cavities can be difficult to explain while emphasizing the importance of avoiding them, so that’s where we come in! 

An easy explanation to children is, “Cavities are tiny holes that can grow in your teeth if you don’t take good care of them. They happen when sugary foods and drinks mix with bacteria in your mouth, making your teeth sick. It’s important to avoid cavities because they can make your teeth hurt and make it hard to eat your favorite snacks!”

Join our mission of a cavity-free future to let smiles shine bright! March No Cavity Club Friend of the Month!
