When should preventive dentistry start?
Preventive dentistry begins with the first tooth. Visit your pediatric dentist when the first tooth comes in. You will learn how to protect your infant’s dental health. The earlier the dental visit, the better the chance of preventing dental disease and helping your child belong to the cavity-free generation.
Preventive dentistry should begin with the eruption of the first tooth. Take your children’s oral health seriously. Pain from decayed teeth or unhealthy gum can greatly distract a child’s learning abilities as well as eating habits – not to mention quality of life. A lifetime of good health should begin early with regular preventive care and development of good oral hygiene habits.
