Importance of Dental Health in Children

Baby teeth or Primary teeth hold space for permanent teeth developing underneath them in the jaw.
If primary teeth are lost too early, other teeth move into the space and block the incoming permanent teeth. This can cause crowding. On top of at-home care, be sure to bring your child to a pediatric dentist.

Some questions to ask your doctor

1. Does my child need to take oral fluoride supplements?
2. What is the best type of toothbrush for my child?
3. Can my child use mouthwash?
4. Is my child at high risk for cavities?
5. Are dental X-rays safe for my child?
6. Is it okay for my child to chew gum?
