Dental Opinions – Seeing a Dentist
Why Should Infants and Toddlers See a Dentist Regularly?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has revised its guidelines on infant oral health care and now recommends that infants 6 to 12 months old should be seen by a dentist. According to studies, children who experience tooth decay in their baby teeth are more likely to develop tooth decay in their permanent teeth. However, by establishing a relationship between family and dentist, parents will be able to learn how to take care of their baby’s teeth. Parents that take a proactive approach to their infant oral health care can make a difference that will last a lifetime
