Dental health care for children five and under is essential for developing proper oral health habits that will lead to a lifetime of oral health care.
Here’s how you can ensure your child has healthy teeth in the future:
- understand that the first teeth are vital to permanent teeth development
- start with positive infant feeding habits and good nutrition
- guard against baby bottle decay and excessive thumb-sucking
- brush and floss your child’s teeth until she or he is able
- we recommend that you bring your baby to see us by its first birthday; this is generally when the first tooth comes in. Early examination and preventive care will protect your child's smile now and in the future
Remember that, as a parent, you have a vital role to play a teacher and motivator. With your support, your child can develop excellent oral health habits that will last a lifetime.
