Believe it or not, children should visit their dentist every six months, just like their parents. Sometimes, parents ask us why early dental visits are so important. The reason is that they help build positive relationships for successful future dental appointments.
Early visits also allow us to begin monitoring your child's oral development. Awareness of any concerns early on helps parents be proactive about their child's oral health, which typically means fewer invasive and costly treatment procedures are needed.
Why Are Baby Teeth So Important?
Many parents ask us why protecting baby teeth is so critical if they only fall out in future. The truth is baby teeth have several important jobs to complete before they fall out:
- Introduction to solid foods — Baby teeth allow your child to experience and enjoy solid foods. These are exciting times!
- Forming first words — Baby teeth help your little one form their first words and learn to speak. Can't wait to hear what they have to say!
- Guiding adult teeth — Baby teeth are the space holders and guides for future adult teeth. Completing your child's precious smile!
