Why Oral Health Matters for Your Baby?
Baby cavities, or early childhood caries, are dental caries that affect infants and young children's primary teeth. These cavities often stem from prolonged exposure to sugary liquids, such as milk or juice, leading to bacterial acid production and enamel erosion. Ensuring the importance of oral health in babies is paramount. Proper oral care not only prevents the discomfort and potential long-term issues associated with baby cavities but also contributes to overall well-being.
By establishing early oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, parents can safeguard their baby's dental health, fostering a lifetime of healthy smiles.
What Does a Pediatric Dentist Do?
Schedule your baby's first dental visit when their first tooth appears. Over time, your dentist becomes a valuable partner in guiding oral hygiene practices. Pediatricians play a vital role by examining little mouths during early doctor visits, offering tips that complement your family dentist's care. They collaborate on fluoride varnish application and educate parents about special risks, like weaker tooth enamel in preemies or reduced saliva flow due to certain health conditions or medications.
