Car Safety Seat Law

Effective January 1 2012, a new booster seat law was put into place in California requiring that all children under the age of 8 must be properly buckled into a car seat or booster in the back seat. For each child under the age of 16 who are not properly secured, parents/drivers can be fined more than $475 and get a point on their driving records. Protect yourself and your children and find out more about this law by checking out the California Department of Public Health - Vehicle Occupant Safety Program web site for additional information.

Dental Health

Every child deserves a healthy start in life. Dental health is an important part of overall health. Dental problems can begin early in life, as soon as the first tooth comes in. It is much easier to prevent dental disease than to treat it! 1 in 4 elementary school age children have tooth decay! Dental Services are currently provided as one of the many benefits under the Medi-Cal program. To find out more information, check out the California Department of Public Health - Denti-Cal web site, or check out the brochures below.
