Why is dental care important for kids?

Oral health care should begin with the very first tooth that grows in the baby’s mouth. Even though these teeth will fall out within a few years, baby teeth hold a space for child’s permanent ones, and it’s important that the child has a healthy mouth when those permanent teeth arrive. Without proper care, even baby teeth can decay and cause a host of problems, including:

1. Painful teeth and gums

2. Difficulty chewing, eating, and sleeping

3. Gum disease and inflammation

4. Embarrassment when talking and smiling
