Caring for baby teeth is just as important as caring for our own. Baby teeth are essential for children’s speech, eating, and forming the structure of the face. They also keep space for adult teeth to grow into.
As a parent, here are 5 things you should be mindful of when caring for your baby’s teeth.
1. Schedule dental appointments early when their baby teeth start to form
2. Avoid prolonged exposure to sugary foods or drinks
3. Incorporate a healthy balanced diet from young
4. Teach your child how to brush their teeth and floss each day
5. If thumb sucking starts to misalign your baby’s teeth, speak to your dentist
Giving our youngest patients a positive and enjoyable dental experience is most fulfilling at our practice. If your child is due for a gentle checkup and clean, give us a call.
