The Importance of Infant Dental Care
Many parents may believe that dental care is not necessary until their child has all their teeth. However, dental health begins even before the first tooth emerges! Early dental care helps prevent cavities, dental issues, and sets the stage for good habits as your child grows. Infants are particularly vulnerable to cavities caused by bacteria transferred from caregivers, often through kisses or shared utensils. This makes it essential to establish good oral hygiene practices right from the start.
Infants are also at risk for conditions such as early childhood tooth decay, often referred to as baby bottle tooth decay. This can occur when sugary liquids like milk or juice pool around their teeth, making early dental check-ups essential. Regular visits not only promote oral health but also offer valuable opportunities for parents to learn about preventative measures and care tactics.
