It’s important to care for baby teeth because they help guide new adult teeth into position. Early loss of baby teeth can cause remaining teeth to shift and new ones to emerge crooked.
Key takeaways:
– Schedule regular check-ups with a dentist when your child is around one year old.
– Limit the amount of sugar in your child’s diet.
– Start brushing teeth as soon as they emerge and supervise brushing until your child is around seven.
Give your child’s dental health the best start.
“Your dentist is an essential part of your child’s oral health routine.”
