The importance of caring for your children’s teeth cannot be stressed enough. Good habits begun early ensure that good oral health will be theirs for many years to come. It is recommended that you take your child to the dentist around the time of their first tooth coming in although if your baby has no dental trouble this can be delayed. Also if you believe that your child has any dental problems, if you need reassurance or if they have a medical condition which can affect their teeth then the earlier you both see the dentist, the better.
