Starting Early Saves Teeth
bathtub_boy.jpgThere are significant differences between the dental needs of children and adults. A Pediatric Dentist - a dentist specializing in the care of children and adolescents - is specially trained to recognize these needs and treat young patients accordingly. It is recommended that children should see a Pediatric Dentist when the first tooth appears, or before age one. Even infants are susceptible to cavities. Even though baby teeth will be replaced by the time a child is a teenager, careful attention to your child's dental health is vital. Problems with baby teeth, such as misalignment or decay, can damage permanent teeth before they are even visible. Addressing such problems at an early stage can prevent bigger problems later on.
