We have the Dentist attending our Margaret Street Centre tomorrow for their regular visit.
Caring for children's teeth is important.
It’s important to look after your child’s teeth from the moment they start teething. Keeping your child’s teeth and gums clean will protect against infection, cavities and pain. Decayed baby teeth can damage the permanent (adult) teeth underneath.
It’s important for your child to get into a regular oral hygiene routine to prevent tooth decay. Babies can be affected by tooth decay as soon as their first teeth arrive. The first signs of decay often appear as white spots or lines on the front teeth.
If a child’s tooth is lost due to decay, it can cause crowding problems when their adult teeth come through later.
