What are the most important dental health concepts for children between 3-6 years of age ?
There are two. First, get regular dental checkups for your child. Even children with apparently clean teeth who don’t seem to eat much sugar often develop small cavities. Since the “nerve” in baby teeth is only two millimeters from the outside surface, the decay has often reached this critical area by the time parents see the cavity. Regular checkups keep dental work simple for the children and inexpensive for their parents. The second important thing to remember is that six-year molars are permanent teeth. This fact is often overlooked because no baby teeth are lost when the six-year molars come through the gums. They are the first permanent teeth to erupt, the largest, and the most important of all the permanent teeth.
