Infant Oral Care
Baby teeth care and oral hygene
All of us know dental care is important for everyone, but what about baby teeth? Baby teeth are already inside your child's jaws at birth. Dentists say that teeth and gum care should begin even before the first baby tooth comes in.
It is important to care for your child's teeth and dental (oral) health from birth.
Practicing healthy habits can prevent or reduce tooth decay (cavities) in infants and children.
Why Healthy Baby Teeth Are Important
- Hold spaces open for the adult (permanent) teeth to come in
- Form the shape of your child’s face
- Make it easier for your child to talk more clearly
- Make chewing and eating easier
